Sasebo, Japan (Dec. 13, 2006) -- Sailors on the forecastle of dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) perform an anchor drop test while inspectors examine the durability and performance of the anchor chain. The Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) is a mandated and rigorous material readiness inspection that is scheduled every five years to ensure a ship's overall operational readiness for deployment.
