Washington/Tehran. The clouds of a world war between America and Iran are getting thicker. US President Donald Trump has given Iran a strict ultimatum of ‘next 10 days’. But amid this intense tension and preparations for war, the world’s most powerful navy is trapped in such a ridiculous and strange problem that you will not be able to stop laughing. America’s most state-of-the-art nuclear powered supercarrier ‘USS Gerald R.’ built at a cost of $ 13 billion (about Rs 1 lakh crore). Ford’ (USS Gerald R. Ford) is currently fighting a war not with its enemies in the sea, but with its own ‘toilet’. The sewage system of this giant ship has completely failed.
Technology cheated, toilets choked 205 times in 4 days
According to NPR and other global media reports, the advanced ‘vacuum technology’ of cruise ships was used in this supercarrier for the purpose of saving water. But this bet proved costly for the Navy itself. According to the more than 4,600 soldiers and crew members present on the ship, the toilet pipes are proving to be very narrow and thin. The situation is so bad that within just 4 days, 205 malfunctions were recorded in the ship’s sewage system. Now the situation is such that instead of keeping an eye on the enemies, the ship’s engineers are doing the duty of opening the jammed pipes and cleaning the dirt for 19-19 hours.
You will be shocked to hear the cost of cleaning, it costs Rs 3.3 crores once.
If you are thinking that this is the work of a plumber to fix it like in ordinary houses, then you are wrong. According to a report by Forbes, a special ‘Acid Flush’ process has to be used to clean out the grime accumulated in these narrow pipes. The surprising thing is that the cost of doing this acid flush just once comes to 4 lakh dollars (about Rs 3.3 crore). In the year 2025 itself, external technical experts had to be called on the ship 32 times to deal with this toilet problem.
The shadow of war with Iran and the bad smell are breaking the morale of the soldiers.
On the one hand, the trumpet of war with Iran is about to sound, while on the other hand, American soldiers in the middle of the ocean are suffering from toilet overflow and unbearable smell. This is the same warship which played an important role in the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and has been deployed in the sea for a long time. Due to repeated deployments and now this terrible problem of toilets, the morale of the soldiers is breaking badly. Defense experts also believe that such a basic problem on a ship worth Rs 1 lakh crore is creating immense irritation and dejection among the soldiers.
Navy said – there will be no impact on ‘fighting power’
After this news went viral and caused embarrassment on social media, the US Navy has given clarification. The Navy claims that this toilet problem will not have any impact on the ‘fighting power’ or combat capability of the ship. However, this news has caught the attention of the whole world between Trump’s 10-day warning and the important talks to be held in Geneva. Trump has clearly said that if a ‘right deal’ is not made with Iran, the consequences will be dire. Now it remains to be seen how this most expensive ship of America deals with Iran.
