The slip ring anchor’s design is based on the theory that, if the anchor chain can slide (slip) to the head of the anchor where the flukes are located when the captain wishes to dislodge the anchor from the bottom, retrieval of the anchor from the seabed is easier, since the application of the force from the anchor
