“New toilets on the Navy’s two newest aircraft carriers clog so frequently that the ships’ sewage systems must be cleaned periodically with specialized acids costing about $400,000 a flush..... The pipes are too narrow and when there are a bunch of sailors flushing the toilet at the same time, like in the morning, the suction doesn’t work,” said Oakley. “The Navy didn’t anticipate this problem.” Sure you can quantify the cost of the flush job. Harder to quantify is the cumulative stress put on sailors due to basics things like toilet not working properly. My home toilet is serviceable, but it isn't great. So I absolutely adore powerful toilet flush at our corporate office. It's like airplane toilet at sea level.
