We toured the largest aircraft carrier in the world - which can house more than 75 aircraft but doesn't have urinals

The USS Gerald R. Ford is the US Navy's newest and largest aircraft carrier - in fact, it's the largest in the world.
Commissioned in July 2017, the Ford is the first of the Ford-class carriers, which are more technologically advanced than Nimitz-class carriers.
It has an improved hull design and weapons stowage, a new weapons elevator, more flight deck space, a new electromagnetic-powered aircraft launch system, three times the electrical-generation capacity of any previous carrier - and more.
We recently got a chance to tour the behemoth as it was docked at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia.
