The Navy's Newest Aircraft Carrier Is the Most Advanced In the World, But It Doesn't Have Any Urinals
Every bathroom on the USS Gerald R. Ford is gender-neutral.

The U.S. Navy has officially commissioned its newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, which is bigger and more powerful than the Nimitz class of carriers it replaces.

The Ford is so advanced that when it heads out on its first mission, probably in 2020, it will carry a crew of 2,600, which is 600 fewer sailors than Nimitz-class carriers. It will also sail without any urinals in its heads (that's sailor jargon for bathroom).

20 years ago, I made a femi-nazi parodic joke that there would be a time urinals would be considered sexist.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Bathroom experts told the Navy Times that urinals cost less, take up less space, and are more sanitary (fewer men miss their target with a urinal)

Whats a drunk sailor to hold onto for stability now?

I can tell you what will happen, if it already hasn't, to these young women.  The heads near their birthing will have men peeing on the seats, some will smear bowel movements on the seats, leave their biggest bowl movements in the toilets,  they will probably pee on the toilet paper, clog the plumbing, etc.  I'm sure the ship's Masters at Arms will be patrolling but that is a lot of area to patrol for such a small division.

Is it just me, or does that vessel look downright top heavy?

No one builds better looking carriers than the US, even sans urinals.

Their shipmates.

Aircraft carriers, for as long as women have served on them, have been floating whorehouses.

You would be amazed what you can get for a carton of Kool 100's.

That's a lot of deck overhang on both sides if you look at where the hull stops. Maybe that's so the guys can stand along the rail.... :whistle:

Don't forget there is an awful lot of ship below the water line.  That makes for a lot of resistance if the ship takes heavy rolls.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking how much displacement that narrower looking hull is doing down there.

I don't care, as long as they stick to American-style terlots and stay away from those Middle-Eastern squat toilets.
