Sea Battle

Sea Battle is solo hunt mode: the computer hides a standard fleet (sizes 5, 4, 3, 3, 2) on a ten-by-ten grid. Click cells to fire — hits and misses mark until every ship cell is found.

No placement phase on this table — you are the hunter, not the admiral setting up both sides.

How to play Sea Battle

  • Click an unshot cell to fire.
  • Misses mark pale; hits mark when you strike ship.
  • Ships do not move after placement.
  • Win when every ship cell has been hit.

Strategy tips

  • Use a parity pattern on the hunt phase — ship size 2 forces even/odd coverage logic on open water.
  • After a hit, target the four orthogonally adjacent cells before spraying elsewhere.
  • When two hits align, finish that line before returning to wide search.
  • Corners and edges fit fewer ship orientations — they are lower-yield but sometimes necessary.
  • New fleet reshuffles the hidden layout for another hunt.

Common questions

Do I place my own ships?

Not in this mode — you only fire at the computer’s hidden fleet on one grid.
