===Correct name?===
According to the pattern collection at http://entropymine.com/jason/life/p/jslife-20060831.zip , this spaceship is known as the Seal.

== Missing Pattern File ==

The pattern file for the Seal with tagalong seems to be missing. Here's the one from the jslife collection:

Oh6: Created page with "I just noticed that the 4-copy variant with volatility 1.0 can be reduced to a minimum of 120 cells by using the same relative phases as in the 2-copy versions: <pre> x = 32, y ..."

I just noticed that the 4-copy variant with volatility 1.0 can be reduced to a minimum of 120 cells by using the same relative phases as in the 2-copy versions:

I seem to recall reconstructing the 4-copy version when I couldn't find the pattern file at one point, so this may be my fault. Sorry about that!

Oh6: /* proposed move to 'Lobster' */

==proposed move to 'Lobster'==
Scot Ellison proposed the name 'lobster' for this pattern, which I have no objections to. I intend to move this page unless someone else has any objections.<br/>~[[User:Sokwe|Sokwe]] 16:33, 13 September 2011 (CDT)

OK --[[User:David|David]] 00:25, 14 September 2011 (CDT)

There seems to be a problem with naming the ship lobster. [[Lobster]] is already a page and an alternate name to [[breeder 1]].--[[User:Scotgot|Scot Ellison]] 11:38, 14 September 2011 (CDT)

I don't think this is a good idea to call another pattern a lobster, if this name has been already reserved. [[User:Codeholic|Codeholic]] 11:49, 14 September 2011 (CDT)

:Lobster (spaceship) is workable, but awkward. Another name would be fine, but this diagonal c/7 spaceship is too important to be called 83P7H1V1! 83P7H1V1 is not a nice name.--[[User:Scotgot|Scot Ellison]] 12:12, 14 September 2011 (CDT)

I'm not really convinced that it must have a name. None of the notable 2c/5 orthogonal or c/5 diagonal spaceships have names, for example. Assuming there's some good reason for it, how did spaceships get named in the past?

Figure eight on pentadecathlon

{{Oscillator|name=Figure eight on pentadecathlon|pname=figureeightonpentadecathlon|p=120|bx=19|by=16|c=24|h=38.9|animated=yes}}
'''Figure eight on pentadecathlon''' is a [[period]] [[:Category:oscillators with period 120|120]] [[oscillator]] composed of a [[figure eight]] and [[pentadecathlon]]. Although it is composed of two oscillators of smaller periods ([[:Category:oscillators with period 15|15]] and [[:Category:oscillators with period 8|8]] respectively), it is considered non-trivial, because it contains one [[cell]] that is alive in [[generation]] 95 and dead in the other 120 [[phase]]s of the oscillator. In terms of its [[:Category:patterns with 24 cells|24]] cells, it is the smallest known non-trivial period 120 oscillator.

There is variant version of this oscillator with a slightly larger bounding box, and two other 26-cell variants which have 3 cells with period 120.
