E4: KC Battleship Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OrigamiFolder: The time has come to say goodbye to the battleship series. It was great fun and one of the first big series I ever worked on. Thanks to all the COs and to Tom and Doug for being the architects of it. Hopefully another cool game will arrive at some point. Happy caching all!

Geocache Description:


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 one final cache 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: Battleship GC35HVE
KC Battleship: Carrier GC35381
KC Battleship: Destroyer GC3607F
KC Battleship: Submarine GC366CK
KC Battleship: Patrol Boat GC35VKH

KC Battleship: Final GC34YT4

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.

***PLEASE READ*** 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. Most of all, have fun!!!

Container is small and water tight, hidden about 40 feet off mowed grass. Some mild bushwhacking necessary. Cache available from dawn to dusk.
