OT - Bilge.
A non-too serious question:-
Considering that the space and possibly the weight of foodstuffs and drink on a nuke equates to the
same of the reactor etc. Presumably the waste material (ie soil) is discharged during the voyage or is it
chemicaly processed and stored until return to port ? If the former then one assumes that as the voyage
proceeds the sub becomes lighter providing more options for manouverability.So a high fibre intake processed
by a battery of animal tracts enhances the performance of 21st century 'hangs and dives' ?
I suspect that this ' discharge' concept, might have applied in WW2, but today special chemical or
biological bouy sensors could make this a dangerous technique.
