Perhaps they’ll consider replacing the LHD-1 USS Wasp. That was a horrible ship. Sixteen crappers in the birthing all tied into a horizontal sewer line, so when the ship rocked, the ones on each end would gurgle sewage onto the deck. The power would go out in random parts of the ship. Every time the baking galley made bread or pastries, they would burn it and the smoke would travel through the ventilation system to our berthing.

The LPH-9 uss Guam was the same..$hit out of the crappers and vent ductint to and from the mess hall. They were bright enough to de commission it to coral reef.

Are you sure that wan't the cake dryer?

I was in Independence, and one of the squadron heads was constantly turning into a lake of poo. We finally got the big XO to do something about it so they attempted hydro blasting the line. They blew out an elbow going through one of the ship stores. That sewer line ran along the top of the hangar deck in a futile attempt so go slightly uphill.
