Why was the minesweeper that got bombed at anchor instead of maneuvering?

I'm actually pretty surprised that it took until the second-last page of this thread for anyone to bring up the minesweeper's anchor. I loved the film but that was the first thing I saw during that scene.
That said, I'm willing to bet good money that she was at anchor to take what would have been pretty difficult shots with a ship floating or under power. Strange that he didn't CGI it out, but then, maybe it wasn't so noticeable as I thought.

Speaking of that ship, a friend of mine has been volunteering for the Dutch Sea Cadets for years now, and he linked me to some photos of some training exercise or something they did in their cadet's ship - some old minesweeper or something:
