An oil tanker drops anchor and the anchor imbeds itself sufficiently to keep the tanker in a stable position. How does the tanker pull up the anchor if the movement of the tanker itself wasn’t enough force to pull it up?

Ships and boats don’t intentionally move while anchored. Any movement while anchored is due to environmental factors.
A ship isn’t just going to drag an anchor behind them.
An anchor is not nearly the same weight as a ship, it’s just heavy enough to keep a boat in place.
Like if I am in a canoe, I don’t need something 250 lbs, I only actually need like 10-20 lbs
