But it returns tuple, not list. `ships = [[], []]` is better

For some definition of better, yes. :-P But try to understand that I was here on CiO when everything was a list. For me, saying that a function should return a list of something here just means that it should return something. (And it's pretty obvious that the task setter also thinks that way, since otherwise the solution wouldn't work.:)

This solution is good, and I gave it a "+", but it does not pass the template code assertions. Maybe change the source code so that it accepts both lists and tuples?

Ah, template code assertions are another can of worms. To tell you the truth, they are the first thing I delete when solving a mission. :-D
