No urinals on the USS Ford.

This is a feature and not a bug.

The main issue is breakdowns with the ship’s Vacuum Collection, Holding and Transfer (VCHT) system, which controls its toilets and sewage collection. The system is split across ten independent zones and supports more than 600 toilets on the ship. Acid flushes can clear and restore the system, but according to that 2020 GAO report, each flush costs the Navy $400,000.

Approx 15% of the crew are female.

“Nine hot dogs for every bun” as my Navy colleague would mention.

Don’t look away when you see the video footage of the toilets overflowing underway. You cannot reliably use commodes in WMO Sea State 4 (moderate and above) but you can employ water-less urinals.

This is from 2017:
