The Free Press Journal
|February 25, 2026

Newly obtained documents reveal mounting frustration among the crew over repeated failures in the ship’s toilet system, a problem that has persisted since the carrier’s first deployment in 2023, NPR reports.
Such is the dire situation that the shortage of toilets has led to queues of up to 45 minutes daily. Frequent tussles between sailors and hull technicians, responsible for plumbing and repair operations, have complicated matters. Technicians are working 19 hours a day to clear the mess.
