This non-convex deltahedron happens to be threefold antiprismatic and acoptic
(non-selfintersecting), but only is triform (has 3 different vertex types).
It can be thought of aligning patches of 6 triangles each (ships) alternatingly above / below the equator in a circle.
Note that all those ships are not inclined but align with the overall axis.
It also can be thought of as a digged and cut icosahedron.

The tip-2-tip length of those ship patches can be calculated as the x(n,3) chord length of some n-gon (n to be evaluated and non-integral). The respective width of that ship patch would be twice the height of the according n-gonal pyramid. As the axial projection of this ship has to be a 60°/120° rhomb, those lengths are in ratio sqrt(3). This leads to the equation 16 T3 - 24 T2 - 3 T + 3 = 0 with solution T = sin(π/n)2 = 0.327896 and thus n = 5.152683. This now allows to calculate those measures of the ship, resulting in a length of 1.688417 and a width of 0.974808. By mere Pythagoras follows from the last measure that the distance of those 2 central points of the polyhedron will be 0.223046.
