Hammerhead is an orthogonal c/2 spaceship found by Hartmut Holzwart[1] no later than September 1995. Alternatively, hammerhead may refer to just the front half of this spaceship (in particular the leftmost nine columns of the form shown below), which can be extended to a c/2 spaceship in a variety of ways.
