Updated at 6:17 p.m. ET] The U.S. Navy's new class of carriers will be the first to go without urinals, a decision made in part to give the service flexibility in accommodating female sailors, the Navy says.
The change heralded by the Gerald R. Ford class of carriers starting with the namesake carrier due in late 2015 is one of a number of new features meant to improve sailors' quality of life and reduce maintenance costs, Capt. Chris Meyer said Wednesday.
Omitting urinals lets the Navy easily switch the designation of any restroom or head, in naval parlance from male to female, or vice versa, helping the ship adapt to changing crew compositions over time, Meyer said.

How much extra water will it waste to flush the five times a day or so that everyone needs to do a #1 with a #2 quantity of water which generally is only done once a day?

Urinals were removed from the current carrier fleet years ago. Not really that big of a change as it sounds.

Can’t they #1 off the bow?

That’s swell!
Men, if you know there’s a queer waiting to use the stall after you, don’t bother to raise the seat, let him sit in your urine!

palm trees inside each head to eliminate the odor?
Or are they no longer allowed to call the head, the head?

That’s not much of a concern since Carriers make their own fresh water out of seawater.

It is going to take a lot of stalls with doors.
Now is the time to buy stock in companies that make stalls.

Cant they #1 off the bow? Nope. It's against the first law of the sea, Don't piss into the wind! The stern or the fantail maybe.
