Geocache Description:

You have just entered into Southern New York's Game of Battleship!!
Find your HITS, collect coordinates, Sink the ships!!

There will be a total of 100 caches in the game grid. Ships are hidden horizontally or vertically, never diagonally, and will not overlap. Caches will either be a HIT or a MISS. Find a HIT and collect the partial coordinates. Find all the HITS needed to sink one of the ships listed below, and you'll have the full coordinates for that ship's Puzzle cache!
AIRCRAFT CARRIER (5 hits will sink it)
BATTLESHIP (4)
DESTROYER (3)
SUBMARINE (3)
PATROL BOAT (2)
PLEASE DO NOT INDICATE IN YOUR LOG WHEN YOU FIND A HIT!!!
BATTLESHIP GEOCACHING GAME!!!
In Battleship, there are 5 ships of various sizes (listed above) hidden on a 10 x 10 grid (100 total grid locations). Each grid location is identified by a letter (A-J) and a number (1-10). Similar to the Battleship board game - you are seeking to find geocaches at each grid location but also discovering HITS and ultimately collecting coordinates to solve each ship's puzzle cache. There are only 17 HITS in the entire game grid. Game grid caches are all traditional, small in size and will be a 1-2 difficulty and a 1-3 terrain. Hit and coordinate information will be within the cache container. All the caches (including the puzzles) are hidden in southern New York (above the city). There are First to Find prizes in each of the puzzle caches. Please be stealthy, use proper geocaching etiquette, and always be safe. Geocaching is at your own risk.
DON'T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN THE PARTIAL COORDINATES!!!
