The $12.9 billion USS Gerald R. Ford, which can carry about 5,000, is the first new US aircraft carrier designed in 40 years. Of course, a lot has changed in 40 years.

For one thing, it’s not uncommon to find women serving aboard such carriers these days. Women account for nearly 20% of the sailors in the US Navy. So, the ship’s designers adapted to the new reality. According to the Navy Times, the Ford has no urinals—only seated toilets with stalls.

The urinal at the Madonna Inn restaurant in San Luis Obispo is quite interesting:

My wife took me there as her family love it - another couple came in before we left - it’s quite the attraction.

They provide a very efficient means for large numbers of men to relieve themselves rapidly.

And how often is that an issue?

So does just using the side of the ship ...

America's enemies are rolling on the floor laughing at the feminization of the U.S. military.

I would think that the fact that this is an issue among some people would have them scratching their heads more than rolling on the floor.

think wind

"think wind"

True, but you have to check the wind before you spit over the side, right?

It's just a matter of doing the same thing ...

You don't tug on Superman's cape,
You don't spit into the wind,
You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,
And you don't mess around with Jim ...

Navy ships use salt water for flushing

"That being said, being able to Piss while standing up is just another benefit of being a Man, which of course is completely unfair in today’s inclusive Society. #:^) "

Since you've broached the subject...

In the 1940's, I recall seeing a cartoon on a head wall of a WAVE at a urinal -- with her skirt hiked up in front -- saying to the Sailor at the next urinal:

"Handy gadget you have there, Sailor!"

Lotsa penis envy going around, nowadays...

This is CIA: Communism In Action, a.k.a. LCD: Lowest Common Denominator.

Since females cannot, or will not, use them, despite their efficient usefulness, and that males predominate, urinals must be excised to create the illusion of egalitarian equality.

I think America’s enemies and friends are bewildered. I don’t count the decadent nations of Western Europe among either. They are lost.

Womyn in the US military; if I were an enemy, that’s what I’d want.

[Vaduz]

And bring yellow sharpie it will keep them busy.

[momincombatboots]

They didn’t already? Hmm.. ok. JK.. maybe they can just pee on the seats.

[NorthMountain]

It’s an issue often enough that the design is (or was) very common.

Hemingway's cat fountain... a urinal he snagged from Sloppy Joe's in Key West:



The story as I remember it is that he came in one day to find workers removing the urinal. He said that he had paid for it many times over, so it was his. Had it installed on its side in his house for water for his cats.

>>>because you don’t “need” urinals. Does your house have one?<<<

If my Wife would allow it, it would. LOL
