I believe you are thinking of the anchor that is on display as part of the USS Arizona memorial. This anchor was actually recovered from the wreckage of the USS Arizona and stands at the entrance of the memorial. The USS Arizona is actually considered a "grave" because the remains of many of the men who served aboard her are still entombed within the ship.
Japan signed the surrender aboard the USS Missouri while it was at anchor in Tokyo Harbor, Tokyo, Japan.
