ANSWER: Games

3



Before play begins, each player arranges a number of ships secretly on the grid for that player. Each ship occupies a number of consecutive squares on the grid, arranged either horizontally or vertically. The number of squares for each ship is determined by the type of the ship. The ships cannot overlap (i.e., at most one ship can occupy any given square in the grid). The types and numbers of ships allowed are the same for each player. These may vary depending on the rules.

There are two typical complement of ships, as given in the Milton Bradley version of the rules:

aircraft carrier: 5
battleship: 4
destroyer: 3
submarine: 3
patrol boat: 2

aircraft carrier: 5
battleship: 4
cruiser: 3
submarine: 3
destroyer: 2

Matt: CORRECT
Record: 32-18
