"Battleship" is a timeless strategy game that pits two players against each other in a battle of wits and naval warfare. Each player has their own grid, typically 10x10, representing the ocean. The primary objective is to locate and sink your opponent's fleet of ships before they can do the same to yours.

The game starts with both players strategically placing their ships on their grids without revealing their positions to the opponent. The standard fleet usually consists of five ships: the aircraft carrier (5 cells), battleship (4 cells), cruiser (3 cells), submarine (3 cells), and destroyer (2 cells). Once the ships are in position, the players take turns calling out coordinates (e.g., A3, B7) to fire at the opponent's grid, trying to hit and eventually sink the hidden ships.

Players must use a combination of deduction, logic, and a touch of luck to figure out the locations of their opponent's ships based on hits and misses. The first player to successfully sink all of their opponent's ships wins the game.

"Battleship" is a game that challenges players to think strategically and plan their attacks carefully, making it a thrilling and engaging experience for all ages. Whether played on a physical board or in a digital format, it's a classic that continues to captivate players with its simple rules and suspenseful gameplay.
