The white-painted, 1.8m tall anchor is mounted against a vertical slab (possibly grey-painted concrete or granite), and rests on a red-brown painted base. Behind it is the a Naval badge and a plaque with the words to a Navy Ode. With the following inscription:
'They have no grave but the Cruel sea
No flowers lay at their head
A rusty hulk is their tombstone
Afast on the ocean bed
On every occasion while caps afloat
THEY HAVE NO CROSSES ROW TO ROW
But those who sleep beneath the sea
We will remember them.
LEST WE FORGET
The specific design of this Anchor couldn't be identified with a Google/Wikipedia search.
