the force of attraction b/w two ships is more than the frictional force b/w ship and the water.If we don't anchor the ship it will collide with other ship with a force equal to the force Gm1m2 /d2.As a result of collision both ships will destroy due to a very high force of attrection.

Why do ships anchor chains have one longer than the other?
A ship is held in position by the weight of the chain laying on the bottom. The anchor is used to grab on the bottom when laying anchor. After the anchor is down, several lengths of chain is paid out. The weight of the chain is what holds the ship. The circumstances determine how much chain is needed and which type of anchor to use. Therefore they don't BOTH need to be very long.
