Or will this just be what both the men AND the women use:

"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.
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.
Heads will be attached to berthing compartments. Currently, many sailors have to traverse a passageway between a berthing and a head.
Urinal drain pipes clog more than toilets and therefore can be smellier and costlier to maintain."
Poor Gerald Ford. Still can't get any respect. These new class of carriers should have Obama's name on every 'head.' Navy vet here just shaking his head - the one on my shoulders.

Women don’t normally share public restrooms with men. Being a man, I have. I think they will be amazed how many times they have to wipe the seat before they sit down.
Liberal men see no problem with this.
they’ve been squatting to pee all of their lives
Or will this just be what both the men AND the women use:
hehe...we’re both having flash backs to the stunts we’d pull in H.S..
There is a south park joke here, but I’ll keep my mouth shut...
On our boat
Men at Sea Sit Down to Pee!

“Heads will be attached to berthing compartments.”
Did anyone but me read that as “birthing compartments”?
In the near future shall our ships come with nurseries?
They’ve got a whole freaking ocean. What do they need urinals for?..............
and why so many sailors go missing overboard at night...
Chickification.
Captain’s Mast for leaving the seat up!
Urinal cakes dissipate in air. The small pieces often get wedged in the trap and do not melt due to submergence. Second, uric acid crystals work havoc on these systems and can clog over time. Crappers just flush it all away.
My grandfather must be rolling over in his grave. He served 20 years in the U.S. Navy. He served in WWII and on the USS Pennsylvania. He was a proud patriot and I think he would not like this one bit.
When will the Navy provide prayer rooms for the Muslims? Will there also be special date nights for the homosexuals?
I wonder how many years it will take, before all of the insanity is truly considered normal.
You know, I have to wonder what female sailors during “that time of the month” anyway? As a woman, I cannot imagine dealing with that little detail in any sort of wartime or in those sorts of accommodations. It’s a simple fact of biology that men don’t deal with and women do (most women anyway). What on earth are we thinking?!
I detest the trend toward unisex toilets in public places (they aren’t everywhere but I do run into them on occasion). However, I always wipe the seat nowadays anyway, because even the ladies (I use the term loosely) restrooms are prone to being “sprinkled”. I blame hovering but who knows what the real reason is. Whatever it is, in the past 20 or 25 years many women have become piggys in the bathroom.
None what so ever.....
No urinals?
The muslims just stand in them to wash their feet anyway.
This was inevitable as the whole point of having women and gays Was to feminize the military, make it less aggressive and weaken morale.
Back when I was on the submarine, the only rest I got was when I was sitting on the throne...looks like the skimmers will get to take some additional breaks!
I remember when a supply officer wandered into the head to sit on the throne and he flushed when they were blowing sanitaries...
The dingleberries were hanging off his face because he was looking down to make sure it went through the ball valve hole
Great fun...except for the SA that had to clean it up...
