: Why do large ships need anodes?

842 viewsChemistryOther

I follow battleship New Jersey on YouTube. One of the recent topics is how the hull around the propellers can corrode more than other areas of the hull. Because of this, the navy installed sacrificial anodes.

Why would a large ship corrode around the propellers more. How to anodes prevent this?
