Sanitary Facilities?
Posted by: Werner Frank ()

I recently read that state specifications for construction of public facilities requires at least one toilet for every fifty persons; ie, an auditorium for 1000 would require - at minimum - 20 toilets and urinals with a prescribed ratio for ladies and gents facilities. Beer gardens - probably more! What now interests me is how many toilets/urinals were there on a Uboot and how did they dispose of the waste? Similarly, were there any showers or tubs? How often, if ever, did the crew wash or bathe? I would assume salt water. Also, disposal of food scraps?
