message: What is "dumping the D.U."?  Joyous! | Talk 13:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know specifically what "D.U." stands for (desalination unit?), but I might be able to help with the meaning as a whole. Modern ships, whether naval or otherwise, carry watermakers which can top up the tanks from seawater during a voyage. On my last trip on this ship we had a very short crew, together with a few days of gales which meant a lot of people didn't bother so much with the showers. The assistant engineer told me he'd been dumping fresh water overboard for days because the tanks were full, and eventually turned off the watermakers altogether. No "navy showers" on that trip.

thread_title:  Unknown phrase 

message: You guys need to get some information from other countries into this article.  For instance, it's my understanding that this is the normal type of shower in Germany, due to the higher price of water.  -FunnyMan 23:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other countries 

message: Speaking from experience. I enjoy perfectly adequate showers in my caravan using around 6 litres of water. I can go 20 days of drinking, cooking, showering etc using the 230 litre shower example that I find extraordinary. And I too find it odd that turning off the water when not required is considered unusual. EdX20 (talk) 20:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consumption 

message: This article has a serious problem with sourcing. It currently cites seven sources, but:
* Two of them are dead links.
* Only one of them (that isn't a dead link) contains the phrase "navy shower", and it does not contain extensive discussion of the topic. It is merely a puff piece by the New York Times that lists curious vocabulary terms and briefly explains their meanings. Most of the terms that it lists have not withstood the test of time since 2007 and were never really commonly used in the first place. If that's the best we can do for this article, perhaps we don't need an article on this topic at all. Ever heard of boot camp flu, drama-price, earmarxist, exploding ARM, mom job, vegansexual, or walkshed?
* Two of them (only one of which is currently a functioning link) seem to be about general statistics for household water and energy usage – not about this topic.
* Three of them are about body and hair washing by astronauts, which seems so far off topic that it is not clear whether that information should be in this article at all.
