***ABOUT THIS CACHE***
You are seeking the USS Geocache, a micro-class attack submarine that contains the log upon which you can sign your name. The cache is hidden at Watts Mill not far from GC37: Missouri's First - Watts Mill which is the oldest cache in Missouri. This area provides walking/biking trails and a beautiful view. The cache is available day and night but I would not recommend being in the area much after dark.
The container is magnetic and can be found while standing atop the USGS monument. Stand on the monument and look underneath the gauging station. The cache is waist-high on the metal bracing. You can open the secondary container without removing it from the sub, but you may find it easier to separate the two items. If you do take them apart, please put them back together just like you found them, with the nano top facing outward. Please re-hide well in the corner of the bracing so muggles won't see it.
This cache was originally "G5: KC Battleship" and was part of a 107 cache puzzle series loosely based on the "Battleship" tabletop game. That series was published in October of 2011 and ended in March 2018. It had a great run! There is no longer a need to record the data here as the series has ended. I've left the original description below for your enjoyment.
KC Battleship
Welcome to KC Battleship. This is one of 100 battleship grid caches hidden as part of the KC Battleship series. The grid is 10x10 and the squares are labeled A1 through J10.
The objective is just like the game of Battleship; discover the locations of ships by finding caches in the grid that indicate “hits”. Each hit will contain pieces of the coordinates to one of 5 ship caches published separately. Each of those 5 ship caches will hold the clues to the "KC Battleship Final" (GC34YT4). This cache is also published separately. The 5 ships and the number of hits for each are as follows:
Patrol Boat = 2 Hits
Submarine = 3 Hits
Destroyer = 3 Hits
Battleship = 4 Hits
Carrier = 5 hits
Grid caches that indicate hits will provide clues as in this example: HIT: N = 6, 1. Remember to record those clues as they are necessary to find the 5 ship mystery caches. View those cache pages for more information. They are named:
KC Battleship: Carrier GC35381
KC Battleship: Battleship GC35HVE
KC Battleship: Destroyer GC3607F
KC Battleship: Submarine GC366CK
KC Battleship: Patrol Boat GC35VKH
You Sank My Battleship!!!
Saving and printing the map image above will help you keep track of completed squares and found hits. Just as in Battleship, when you’ve found a hit, you know another must be in one of the squares to the left, right, above or below.
A lot of time, planning and effort by several of your fellow geocachers has gone into making this set of 100+ caches a reality. PLEASE do not post any spoiler photos or logs that would give a clue to a hit or miss. If you do, you will be contacted and asked to edit your log. Also sharing information with other cachers or asking for it is discouraged, so we ask that you please don't. Besides it's obvious when someone has taken shortcuts. Keep the fun in the game but most of all have fun!!!
Is it a HIT or a MISS? You will have to play the game to find out. Have fun.
