now i’m not trying to make fun, but in a pinch can’t you just shit off the edge? they have thought of perhaps building a little elevated deck at the rear of the ship to extend over the water off of which to, and i can’t believe i am saying this, poop?
A poopdeck?
(i’m trying to let them figure it out on their own!)
This thing uses a newer plumbing system compared to the older Nimitz class. It’s not brand new technology, it’s the same as on most civilian ship nowadays but from what I read, navy personnel are struggling with maintenance.
And also sailor have always been morons who will flush anything that should or shouldn’t down the toilets. This is more personal experience, but I expect it’s the same in the US Navy.
Plumbing should be the first thing they teach everyone in the military, tbh. But sanitation is woke so… better to shit on the floor.
At times the emails almost evoke a floating dorm room, revealing that everything from t-shirts to a four-foot piece of rope have been removed from the system. The vacuum pipes are narrow.
They have outages every day and sailors still choose to flush down stuff thats not supposed to go in there. No wonder
The most common problem is a valve at the back of the toilets that can be knocked loose and cause all of the toilets (which the Navy calls heads) in one of 10 zones to lose suction.
(It’s not just the Navy — they’re called “heads” on recreational vessels, too.)
So, civilian naval vessels use the same nomenclature as the military?
Well instead of “Port” and “Starboard” they use “Pooter” and “Scooter”
Indeed. The quoted passage made it sound like this was unique naval terminology, as opposed to standard nautical terminology. It’s not wrong, I just thought it was worded peculiarly.
An Army marches on its stomach.
The Navy marches to the Poop Deck.
hope they dont slip on the poop.
I mean they can literally shit in the biggest toilet in the world. Just watch your step.
I have a difficult time understanding how soldiers are able to shit in New Jersey when they’re stationed in the Mediterranean on a warship.
A series of pipes and tubes mostly
GOT DANG INTERNET
theres is a poop deck , is there not?
Would love to see the news of marines falling out that ship while taking a shit
Well, nobody is turning back to rescue them these days, so they better be careful.
Looks like a decently far fall. Into a bunch of turds.
Wow, you can’t even say the system sucks.
Maybe the best thing american soldiers have ever done, btw
