    Phil,

    I've noticed that all of the USCG's new cutters (cutter = CG vessel over 65')
    are carrying Fortress anchors as their main working anchor. I don't know what
    sort of testing the CG did before switching to the Fortress (can anyone shed
    some light on that?), but it was interesting to note the use on the cutters.
