It was published by various companies as a pad-and-pencil game in the 1930s, and was released as a plastic board game by Milton Bradley in 1967.
Your Instructions to solve the puzzle.
Battleship Geocaching style: Everyone solving puzzle caches would be familiar with the geocheckers.
In this unique "battleship" game, a geochecker link is provided below. This will be your game board. On it you will guess coordinates to try to "sink the battleship-cache".
You may start by entering the posted coordinates as one of your guesses. The geochecker will then give you feedback on your guess. Based on our own "sonar" technology, the geochecker will tell you a range of proximity to the cache. The more guesses you make, the more proximity information you are going to get to solve the puzzle, but use your guesses wisely or the geochecker will not let you do more guesses until you "re-load" the ammo.
Use the information wisely and your next guess might be a hit or close to it. Remember that the proximity information is a range of distance with NO DIRECTION. So chose your points wisely and record all the information that the geochecker gives you. You are going to need it.
Once you feel that you are close enough to "sink the battleship", you can search the area until you find the cache.
If the geochecker gives you exact coordinates, then that would be better for you, but if you feel comfortable with the distance to the target then go for it. .
So here is your Battleship geocaching board and good luck on your mission:
