No Urinals In New ‘Gender Neutral’ Aircraft Carriers

Gerald R. Ford-class carriers were designed with women in mind. with “gender-neutral berthing and heads without urinals, differentiating them from all previous carriers.”

Gender-neutral berthing is just one part of a broader plan intended to ensure comfort aboard the carriers, Navy officials said. All berthing areas will be connected to a toilet and shower, and there will be no more crew living spaces with 200-plus sailors, according to Rear Adm. Thomas Moore, program executive officer for aircraft carriers.

Carriers have deployed with women since 1994, but every one built since then has included urinals. By using just toilets, any head quickly switch from male to female.
