Her Line has been Irking me for quite some Time, since it's not just bad Grammar but sounds really weird for a native speaker. Since there is already a Note to this regard, I'll just leave this here:

The Order "Raise the Anchor" would Translate to "Lichtet den Anker"

Whereas her "Lichten des Ankers" would roughly be "Raising of the Anchor"

Which CAN be seen as an Order in English, but in German it's more of a Description; like "(There were no Problems with the) raising of the Anchor." = "(Beim) lichten des Ankers (gab es keine Probleme)."

Not sure if that warants any further Notes, but I just had to get this out.
