🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain marking systems used in U.S. practice • Meaning of the last shot versus middle shots and detachable links • Standard color pattern for chain shots near the bitter end

💭 Think About

• First recall how each shot of chain is identified and how many fathoms a standard shot contains. • Think about how the colors change as you move from the first shot away from the anchor toward the bitter end in the chain locker. • Ask yourself: what special visual warning is needed when you are about to run out of chain at the windlass? How is that shot made obviously different?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of a shot of chain (standard length) and what the last shot means in practical terms. • Review the typical U.S. Navy/merchant color scheme for first, intermediate, and last shots. • Verify which color is used to give a strong visual warning of approaching the bitter end so the crew knows to stop paying out chain.
