Commonness

Aircraft carrier is the fifteenth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than long barge but more common than paperclip.[1] It is also the twentieth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue. It is the fourth most common (second rarest) 6-bit still life, being less common than the barge but nearly four times as common as the snake.[2]
