Yes sure the anchor can add to holding but if your relying on the anchor the chain story is fading away.
Thinking about the times its hard to get the anchor up is in clay etc.
I have dived on lots of megayachts back in the day 40-60m and same story as the cruise ship.
Lots of trenches in the sand as the flukes dont bite in but just drag till there is enough chain out to stop the vessel.
Rigs dont anchor with ship designed anchors for a reason…
