Guess I haven't been paying close attention.  That ship only has one anchor.  Is this a new standard?  Guess it makes sense, the port side anchor was a pain in the ass to hook up and drop.

Maybe they just forgot to put it on and rather than look stupid, just said nothing as if it was the way it was supposed to be. :shrug:
