The main parts of a navy anchor are the shank, flukes (also known as arms), crown, stock, and ring. The shank is a long, vertical shaft that connects the crown to the stock. The flukes are the curved arms that dig into the seabed to provide stability. The crown is the top part of the anchor, and the stock is a horizontal bar that helps the anchor lay on the seabed properly. Lastly, the ring is a loop at the top of the shank for attaching the anchor chain.

Why is the symbol for the US Navy a fouled anchor?
FOULED ANCHOR--The foul anchor as a naval insignia got its start as the seal of the Lord Howard of Effingham. He was the Lord Admiral of England at the time of the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. During this period the personal seal of a great officer of state was adopted as the seal of his office. The fouled anchor still remains the official seal of the Lord High Admiral of Great Britain. When this office became part of the present Board of Admiralty, the seal was retained--on buttons, official seals, and cap badges. The Navy's adoption of this symbol and many other customs can be directly attributed to the influence of British Naval tradition. The fouled anchor is among them.

Not that I know of...a lot of people get anchor tattoos to show that they're "grounded" - that their life is stable and fulfilling. Others get them because they have a nautical profession, or to show that they are, or were, in the Navy. And still others get them because they look cool.
