The anchor unit is fixed to the casing of the submarine, and it is mounted on a support which carries an anchor hook. The support has a protecting beam which is joined by means of exploding bolts to the extensions. The double hoop is wrapped around a drum unit and it is locked by the latch pin. The hoop is pivoted around the spindles. The jacks are used to move the hoop arms. The drum holding the projecting beam unit is firmly fixed to the undersea structure against which the submarine docks.
