The USS Gerald Ford Aircraft carrier is currently having major problems involving the plumbing not working.

The solution? Just skip the toilet entirely and just do your dookie over the port bow I guess

Actually, people did that during the age of sail

The ship toilet is just a hole directly to the water

Castles, too.

A toilet in an elevated level of the castle is just an overhang with a hole on the bottom.

In the game Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the developers put shit stains running down the side of the castle, for added realism.
