they are changing things for a small percentage of the ship's complement--not very efficientYea it's six months old just learned about so like a 13 billion dollar ship and they couldn't afford urinals?
No urinals on the new Navy aircraft carrier

170408-N-WZ792-198 NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (April 8, 2017) The future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) underway on its own power for the first time. The first-of-class ship -- the first new U.S. aircraft carrier design in 40 years -- will spend several days conducting builder's sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.

The new aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford has all sorts of high-tech gear equipped for 21st century naval warfare. But there is one thing that male sailors will notice is no longer available: Urinals.
What's yer point?
Much as it pains me to admit it, Fake John Wayne is exactly right. I don't have a urinal at home either, unless you count the woods.
Urinals are like Facebook. When those Nosebook addicts tried to get me onto the same addiction I asked 'em, "what will this give me that I don't already have?" Nobody ever came up with an answer.
Now come up with a story about an aircraft carrier with no toilets, and you'll have a thread.
don't toilets use more water? which the ship has to produce
I was on 4 naval ships......unless the women's compartments are near full capacity, they have it easier than the men
..also, if you can't fill up their compartment, it's inefficient use of the compartment--wasting energy/space/etc
