They need to ban toilets, especially the high capacity assault toilets.

Occasionally, a real smart arse would take a roll of toilet paper (well more like sandpaper), set fire to it and let it float downstream.....
Oh, in case one was wondering, there were NO stalls, just the open sluice.....
Ah, memories......of a not so wasted yute.....
***************************************
Lol! I was ship’s company (V-2 Cats) on CVA-42 (FDR) and the same stunt happened frequently... especially when someone was ‘downstream’ and had a bad hangover from the night before on the beach! ...Learned quickly to find a perch ‘upstream’!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Due to the ‘shortage’ of potable water on an APA am pretty sure the ‘running sluice’ combo toilets were fed with salt water.
Which also made for interesting times when the APA made some of those infamous rolls and acted like a ‘bucking bronco’.

People paid big bucks for ‘bidets’ but any toilet on a USN ship that had ‘water’ in the bowls offered that service to the people using them during ‘heavy seas’.

As previously mentioned, the salt water made it an even more interesting adventure....

If this happened in the U.S., the government would ban toilets from all venues!
