Battleship
Grid warfare game
A battleship is a large, heavily armored warship with powerful guns, the dominant class of naval vessel from the late 19th century through World War II.
Aircraft carriers and guided missiles made battleships obsolete by mid-century.
Battleship is also a guessing game where players try to locate and sink each other's hidden fleet on a grid: You sunk my battleship!
