1. I will repeat my question. Where is the possition of the anchor on the DDG-1000s bow?
I don't see any hole up of below the sea level at the hull.

As a very unusual ship, Zumwalt class should get a very unusual anchor, too...

Incredible. Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering myself.

Pretty impressive stuff. Not sure about value for money but then the F117 had a strange life, but the technology was shown to be both effective (stealth) and ineffective (F for fighter) and lessons learnt and cost largely thereof fallen.

The F117 was never designed as a fighter. It had no radar.

Raytheon continues successful performance on DDG 1000 Zumwalt class Destroyers

Raytheon Company has delivered more than six million lines of software to the U.S. Navy for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer program. Part of the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) -- the integrated mission system for the DDG 1000 class -- the software delivery supports ship activation and combat system testing, set to commence this year.

The magnitude of this software development program is recognized as one of the most complex in the history of the U.S. Navy. TSCE continues to achieve all critical readiness milestones on schedule, currently at Technology Readiness Level 6 after demonstrating the system's ability to perform in relevant end-to-end operational environments. Recently, the Engine Control System and core Integrated Power System capabilities were tested at the Navy's land-based test site, where automated control of the Navy's first all-electric ship was successfully demonstrated.
