An anchor of arms, often referred to as an "anchor," is a symbol used in heraldry to represent hope, steadfastness, and stability. It is typically depicted as a traditional maritime anchor and can signify a connection to the sea or naval service. In various coats of arms and crests, the anchor can also illustrate the virtues of strength and resilience.

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.

In the context of an anchor, the shank refers to the long, straight part that connects the anchor's flukes (the arms that dig into the seabed) to the crown (the top part where the anchor chain or rope attaches). The shank provides leverage when the anchor is set, helping to keep it securely embedded in the seabed. Its design and length can affect the anchor's holding power and stability in various marine environments.
It could mean they are in the Navy, or it could be symbolic for stability. An anchor with roses could represent a stable relationship.
The anchor represents hope; the cross is faith and the heart is for charity.

It's a phrase that's often misunderstood. It means to pull up a ship's anchor. It's the opposite of "to drop anchor".
