Very long ship (or long long ship) is the long long extension of ship.
Occurrence
It is the twenty-ninth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than tub with tail but more common than mirrored table.[1]
It is the 27th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than hat but more common than very long boat. It is the 2nd most common still life with 10 cells, being 4 times less common than boat-tie but 3.5 times more common than block on table.[2]
Compared to Catagolue's typical 16×16 soups, the very long ship is 16% more common in 8×8 soups and 6% more common in 10×10 soups. This is probably because the predecessor shown below takes room to grow and is less likely to be hit by something else if it's the only object.
It is about one-fifth as common as the long ship but almost 2,000 times as common as the long^3 ship.
A decent number of very long ships, although not enough to be almost all, form from the right half of generation 7 of the following pattern, where generation 0 is a bakery predecessor with one cell moved to an adjacent location. The very long ship forms in generation 17. Some of them go through the sequence shown here, while others reach generation 7 in a different way. Because this is a common predecessor, the very long ship is often accompanied by two nearby boats.

Glider synthesis
- Main article: Glider synthesis
On March 28, 2007, Dean Hickerson found a 4-glider synthesis of this still life.[3]
A 3-glider collision exists that produces a very long ship along with a lot of junk, formed via a glider hitting a bullet heptomino. [4]
Destruction
It is the only 10-bit still life that requires 2 gliders for its glider destruction.
