The USS Gerald R. Ford is the first aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy to have gender neutral bathrooms, the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday.
Every sleeping quarter in the ship, which is the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, will have seated toilets that can be used by anyone instead of urinals in their bathrooms.
Women make up about 18 percent of sailors in the Navy.
"This is designed to give the ship flexibility, because there aren't any berthing areas that are dedicated to one sex or the other," Operations Specialist 1st Class Kaylea Motsenbocker told Navy Times.
"So if this space was needed for males, we could shift the females to other berthing areas and make this all male without any modification being necessary."
