Virginia-class submarine Massachusetts (SSN 798) was recently launched into the James River at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Shipbuilders transferred the submarine from a construction facility to the floating dry dock, where it was later submerged and moved by tugboats to a submarine pier at the shipyard for final outfitting, testing and crew certification.
Massachusetts is the U.S. Navy’s 25th Virginia-class submarine and will be the 12th delivered by NNS.

This happened to pop up in my YT sidebar. A bit humorous @ 2:08. Somehow I don't think that was part of the spec. ;-)

I watched around 2:08 several times at 0.25 speed and don’t see anything. What did you see?
Incredibly awesome seeing the assembly factory and launch. Wow.

I’ve worked on so many construction sites that I didn’t even see it.
I worked on one site in Mexico where they didn’t provide sufficient facilities and the workers would crap inside the boiler equipment. That was GROSS.

It is not like the oil fields were one would walk off the location to do their #2 business.
#1?
We would piss anywhere and even over the rails of the rig floor.
But not off the V-door. There are limits.

It’s an old shipyard and the working area stretches over a large distance.

Of course not.
Outhouse.
You don’t see one on the deck of a sub very often.

Is that just about the most awesome thing you seen today?
That is exactly how it’s done, folks.

But what is important is that it was built by AA hires and will be commanded by an American hating illegal alien minority tranny.

Lettuce pickers do it in the field and wipe with your soon to be purchased leaves. That’s why there have been so many cases of Romaine lettuce being recalled due to E. coli.

The sub itself, yes!
The porta-potty on top of a $4.3 sub? ...Just a wee chuckle at practicality in a mostly not-funny-at-all world...
