Each grid represents a section of ocean in which the entire fleet is hiding. This fleet consists of one battleship (four grid squares in length), two cruisers (each three squares long), three destroyers (each two squares long), and four submarines (one square each). The ships may be oriented either horizontally or vertically, and no two ships will occupy adjacent grid squares, even diagonally. The digits along the right side of and below the grid indicate the number of grid squares in the corresponding rows and columns that are occupied by vessels.
In each of the puzzles below, one or more shots have been taken to start you off. These may show water (indicated by a wavy lines), a complete submarine (a circle), or the middle (a square) or the end (a rounded-off square) of a longer vessel. The puzzles get harder as you go. Only Battleships genuises will reach the rank of admiral by finding all the fleets.
