Regular Kryptonian Lifeboat

Superman's Rocket was built by his father, Jor-El, and used to send baby Kal-El to Earth to live his life there and carry on their planet's legacy as "The Last Son of Krypton." It was later modified by Dr. Emil Hamilton and the scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs to allow Superman to explore space when his space suit would not be enough on its own. Where Superman kept it is unknown, though it was likely in his Fortress of Solitude.
==History==
When he discovered his home planet, Krypton, was becoming unstable and would soon perish, the scientist, Jor-El, built a rocket to transport a single Kryptonian off planet to another world. Originally, the plan was to put the planet's population in the Phantom Zone and have the traveler use the Phantom Zone Projector to let them out on a new, suitable world for them to live on. The destination Jor-El planned for was Earth. However, Krypton's High Council denied Jor-El's claims of Krypton's demise due to Brainiac's disagreement and refused to accept his evacuation plan if for no other reason than to put the citizens of Krypton with "the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy".After learning Krypton's time was just about up from Brainiac and that the AI had lied for its own purposes, Jor-El used the rocket to send his son, Superman, to Earth (with the Phantom Zone Projector still in the ship). He and his wife, Lara, recorded a message for their son to explain where he was from and why they had to send him away.They also made sure to explain the abilities he would gain under the Earth's yellow sun.The ship successfully made its way to Earth (accompanied by what would become known as Kryptonite) and landed near Jonathan and Martha Kent who decided to raise Kal-El as their own son, Clark. They kept the ship in a large crate in their barn, but did not show it to Clark until he was a teenager and his abilities started to manifest. After showing him his proverbial "basket", they explained how they found him and why they didn't tell him about it. They also gave him the device with his parents' message on it, which started playing when he took it.Years later, after becoming Superman, Clark allowed Dr. Emil Hamilton, and the other scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs, to study his ship and make some modifications to it so he could explore space. Along with the Space Suit they made for him, the ship now allowed Superman to pursue threats in space as well as study a black hole and visit the remnants of Krypton (where he discovered the effects its destruction had on its sister planet Argo, and found Kara).

A bold plan was drafted. One volunteer would pilot a one man spaceship to a chosen planet and release the other Kryptonians from the Phantom Zone. The plan was dismissed by Krypton's Council and Brainiac. When Jor-El discovered Brainiac's betrayal, he barely escaped with his life and initiated a back up plan. The spaceship was to become a lifeboat. His son, Kal-El, would be sent to a planet with a yellow sun with the Phantom Zone Projector and a pre-recorded holographic message from his parents. It launched just as Krypton imploded. When the wormhole was activated, several pieces of Krypton were transported along with the lifeboat.It landed in Smallville, Kansas and was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent. They took Kal-El on as their child and hid the lifeboat in the Kent Family farmhouse. Years later, they revealed the ship to Kal-El, now Clark Kent when he was a teenager. After developing a partnership with S.T.A.R. Labs, Superman allowed them to study the lifeboat. They modified it for interstellar travel, which Superman used for missions off Earth such as pursuing Lobo, relocating Bizarro, tracing onboard coordinates back to the Xeno Galaxy where Krypton was, monitoring a black hole, and a phantom signal set up by Darkseid. After Darkseid kidnapped Superman, it appears the ship was disposed of.Years later, when the Justice League was attacked by Dr. Destiny, several members where subjected to their worst nightmares. Superman dreamed he couldn't control his powers anymore. Despite J'onn J'onzz' appearance, he fled to Smallville and hid in the lifeboat. J'onzz convinced Superman to let him establish a telepathic link and sever Destiny's hold.
