Huh.

Hawse pipe

A cast-iron or steel pipe placed in the bows of a ship on each side of the stem for the anchor chains to pass through and provide an easy lead for the cable from the windlass to the anchors

One connection from fireline is given to wash out the mud and dirt from the anchor chain

Bonus anchor vocabulary:

Bitter End

The end of a chain secured in the chain locker of a vessel which is attached to the hull by a quick release mechanism known as the bitter end.

End of the cable connected to the deck or Bulkhead in the chain locker.

If video games have taught me anything there is definitely some high tier loot in there. I'm going in for sure.
