Absolutely. It’s all bespoke. I was aware they tried copying cruise ship lines, but for Uncle Sam it’s the first implementation.
By using a specialty plumbing system they have ensured: parts will never be cheap, or readily available. Because the USG only fucks with 100% domestic origin goods, those parts are on a short list of availability. Because they are likely bespoke, the list is even shorter. They won’t be sourcing from the same established vendors the cruise industry sources from unless somehow the entire supply chain is US supplied.
The USG doesn’t have their own turd wranglers, so now they have to find overseas turd wranglers that can be approved to venture onto an active military ship, to fix the fuckin john. Or they keep it American, and fly in turd wranglers to fix the fucking john who specialize in cruise-line style waste evacuation systems.
I’ve done a contract working on a cruise ship and I can tell you even the ones there are a pain in the ass for maintenance. Making your own from scratch is an awful idea.
They literally tried to adapt cruise ship lavatories to save money and it will end up costing them so much more fucking money now
Tbf 5k people just shitting and pissing straight into the ocean is an environmental catastrophe
Like the USMIC is obviously an environmental catastrophe but this would make it incrementally worse

Interesting, I guess this is how they end up with $10000 toilet seats or whatever the meme complaint was
