    now i’m not trying to make fun, but in a pinch can’t you just shit off the edge? they have thought of perhaps building a little elevated deck at the rear of the ship to extend over the water off of which to, and i can’t believe i am saying this, poop?

    This thing uses a newer plumbing system compared to the older Nimitz class. It’s not brand new technology, it’s the same as on most civilian ship nowadays but from what I read, navy personnel are struggling with maintenance.

    And also sailor have always been morons who will flush anything that should or shouldn’t down the toilets. This is more personal experience, but I expect it’s the same in the US Navy.

      Plumbing should be the first thing they teach everyone in the military, tbh. But sanitation is woke so… better to shit on the floor.
