I can attest to one quality feature of the plumbing on carriers. They put pipes on them big enough to flush a pair of dungarees down and not clog up! 100% serious! Kek!
Yep, that is a thing. And that's at least one reason why they use like 12in pvc pipe kek.
Another is people are bored and stupid. Ya know the type that flushes a roll of TP in a single flush or the chain reaction surprise.... like 10 ppl go and just let it keep piling up for the next unlucky soul.
Oh hell yeah. There's enough output power one carrier could probably power over 1,000 avg sized middle class homes without brownout.
Now if you were referring to the heads, yeah they have ventilation. Not all have AC though lol. Well, the newer ones may. My experiences are from decades past.
Do what the Navy men of yore did in the Age of Sail. Crap and piss off the stern.
Fun fact though. Part of the Golden Fleet initiative is supposed to include replacements for the Ford Class. So it’s unclear if the Navy intends on finishing the planned 10 ships.
Of course @NuryVittachi wants the US military to fail. He's a watermelon-loving, America-hating NYT-Op-Ed-Writing commie goof who thinks Americans all live on stolen land:
In this case, the reporting is accurate. A simple Google search will pull up dozens of stories and reports on the issue.
Apparently, the Navy's known about it going back to 2020, when it was cited in a GAO report. The GAO report also suggested fixing the problem right away, but it fell on deaf ears.
Knowing Sailors like I do, as I am a former Sailor myself, once it became clear there was an issue, I'm sure Ship's Company took it upon themselves to make it worse so it would be fixed faster.
However, since the whole system was designed wrong, the ship would have to be drydocked and torn apart to fix it. That would take years and probably cost billions more, so I doubt it'll be fixed any time soon.
No it's the number of flushes and the amount of water, and the calcium build up from the hard water. It's a number of things. Trannies flushing their pads is a meme, of course.
To autism explain:
The main point is: that it was a system-change, and the risks of that change were not properly mapped by the project-manager, or naval architect, or logistics-advisor, or what-not. Furthermore, that system was changed for the sake of a DEI policy. Fact is: sailors who use urinals, reduce the need for toilet flushes, as the sewerage system will use less water. Furthermore, piss can be dumped in the ocean without treatment when at sea, as it is sterile. It is a very old naval fix. [insert bucket jokes].
But someone's feefees demanded that there be NO urinals in case it offended the waamen. Praps, the Waamen-frenly designers also wrinkled their nose at the idea of antique peepee disposal. Sailors are such rough, dirty old men.
Anyway, real women would just walk past stand-up pee-ers without blinking, akshully. People tend to stand with their backs to the crowd, when peeing.
I suspect that urinals need specialists to install them, so the builders just went with the cheaper bulk-toilet installation. toilet = urinal, so can swap out at will, type thing. Why not go for a clean, simple,waamens toilet look?
Only, men use less water. even on land, they use a quick bush. LOL. Landlubbers don't tend to consider the balance between naval (gendered) custom/habits vs. 'green' water-conservation. Which indicates also that naval architects don't give a shit about the environment, where such calculations for water conservation normally reside. Yes, piss is sterile, and can be directly applied to the ocean without ill effect, and not flushing your piss can conserve water. At sea this matters. But I guess that conversation never arose.
Somewhere along the line something broke in the multi-layered, creaking hierarchy, someone's feefees dominated the design discussions, and they had to FAFO

There have been accusations of subversion, that is: sailors flushing their shirts down, to purposefully clog the toilets.
Yep, that is a thing. And that's at least one reason why they use like 12in pvc pipe kek.

Do they have AC on those floating cities? I imagine that one needs proper ventilation, considering.
Oh hell yeah. There's enough output power one carrier could probably power over 1,000 avg sized middle class homes without brownout.

We built rockets that took us to the moon, and now can't built a functional carrier? Astonishing!
really makes one think, strokes chin.
But we spent so much money on what exactly?
No budgets. Nothing to see.
Sumthin,,, 9/11
There are no urinals. For gender neutrality.

Maybe get some porta-potties?
Can the non-binary use urinals or do they have to sit?🤣😂

What would Captain Jack Sparrow do?
Shit in a bucket an toss it overboard. Or just hang your ass over the edge....
People have been shiting on boats for thousands of years,
I know man!
But what about the ladies on board? Can't have them going partial commando while squatting over the edge of the boat. ;)
Chamber pots.
Jump overboard into one of the lifeboats and jury-rig a bedsheet. I hear it is hot there too.
Stinky heat.
Lifeboats? No lifeboats but inflatable survival pods.
Everyone gets a bucket and roll of TP. When you're done, dump the bucket into the sea.
Darn. Sorry Israel, you're shit out of luck on this one!
Funny how a screwed up ship was named for a screwed up APPOINTED President who also served on the Warren Committee.
He didn't serve,the big names on the Warren commission never met.
It was all new hires.

And this gave birth to the acclaimed bucket brigade!
Are the female soldiers plugging up the ship’s toilets with sanitary products?
