Why there are No urinals on the US Navy

US Navy’s latest Super-carrier without Urinals is a Fail

The Unites States Navy commissioned the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford CVN 78 recently. This ship is noted for many advanced technologies on board, but what is also notable is what the ship doesn’t have.

A report from Navy Times suggests that though the Ford has an army of US’ most advanced fighters, it’s missing men’s urinals.

The Navy gave a reason that the displacement of the urinals increase pliability when it comes to relocating berthing alignments for the crew on this mammoth carrier that costs $13 Billion. According to experts, however, there are some pitfalls in this new arrangement.

The President of Public Restroom Company(PRC), Chuck Kaufman, is among those who are critical of this design change. The PRC particularizes in designing public toilets that have been used in rest areas, playgrounds, parks – just about anywhere.

Kaufman claims the Pentagon’s latest technical assessment of the next generation in urineless super-carrier reveals the warship is currently incapable of performing basic functions during routine operations. The service in the February 2017 year reportedly appealed to the secretary of the Defense, James Mattis to delay critical shock testing of the new carriers until the second ford class haul USS John F Kennedy comes available in 2024, the same stress testing which the lawmakers let the navy off the hook come to in 2017. The intensive assessment of the Ford conducted by the Office of the director of operational test and evaluation and published in 2018 along with its other 2017 technical analysis reveals poorer or unknown reliability among many of the Ford essential systems including newly designed catapults arresting gear and weapons elevators in radar.

These radars aren’t just high profile that steam less catapult but critical for the vessels in counter-terrorism and great power deterrence. The limitations could affect the ability of CVN 78 to generate sorties make the ship more vulnerable to tag or create limitations during routine operations the report states. The power or unknown reliability of these critical subsystems is the most significant risk to CVN 78. Among the most glaring problems facing the vessel those goddamned electromagnetic catapults while the Boeing FA-18 Super hornet 18G growler aircraft experienced excessive airframe stress on launches. According to the DOTE reports the Navy also identified an inability to readily electrically isolate electromagnetic aircraft launching system Emil’s and advanced arresting gear AAG components to perform maintenance a complication. That means sailors could find themselves unable to perform underway maintenance or repairs on one of the ships most critical systems.

This isn’t just real pain in the ass when something goes wrong during a sustained bombing campaign against say forces hostile to US personnel downrange in Syria it renders the whole system functionally useless. At the current reliability Ford’s cats only have a nine percent chance of completing the four-day surge and a 70 percent chance of completing a day of sustained operations as defined in the design reference mission without a critical failure that’s on a good day. With a deck full of trained sailors the Ford class was designed to reduce the manning requirements but is sensitive to manpower fluctuations, simply because the next generation technologies it embraced are not well understood.

For a ship like the Ford, which cost upwards of $13 billion, every inch of space matters tremendously.

“Why would you want the ship to be bigger just for fixtures?” said Kaufman. “You can get twice as many urinals as water closets.”

For now, the Ford will be the only Navy ship in the fleet that is entirely outfitted with gender-neutral bathrooms, said Bill Couch, a Naval Sea Systems Command spokesperson.

Regardless, urinals on aircraft carriers may be a thing of the past. For best deals and options for a mobile toilet please check out porta potty service
