Well that was interesting. Once I got my navigation corrected it went pretty smoothly. Great puzzle that ALMOST worked when I was steaming towards the wrong port.
Oh, and my Naval two cents on colors of lights was:
Red to Red or Green to Green, if even in doubt don't go between!
Other Naval expressions and observations will have to be scuttled due to propriety.
Great puzzle Whimsy, I am officially off the couch and on the deck.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Way, way back in middle school and high school when we ended up with square dancing each year as part of "folk dancing", they were always referred to as "DoSiDont's!"Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 7:51 am For any square dancers out there, is 66A a real term?

The answer is ALL HANDS ON DECK.
(And mayhaps Joe Ross will be posting his usual Show-and-Tell soon also. )
The "hits" per the coordinates were the second A in ASOCIAL, the H in ISH, the O in CRO, and the D in AMISTAD,
The names of the ships in the pertinent four clues, and their lengths in Battleship, keyed you in to the length of the word following that letter (after skipping that sneaky black square.)
And the title was my silly way of saying that the only ship from the game not used in the solution was the submarine.
Thank you everyone for playing along even though I had a little trouble telling my axis from my..... well, from my other axis...

Two brothers in the house who played board games, a father who joined the Navy in 1942 and I just never saw this one. How elegant!

Funny - I got this one based on the AHOD acronym and did not even notice that it read out in reality.

I'm posting this in two relevant threads in order to dilute the thumbs-up votes.
Today I had a Zoom meeting with a new student and we had this exchange.
S: "Yeah, we used Connect Math in my last course, and that thing... what's it called, with the grid, and the letters on one side and the numbers on the other side..."
C: "Battleship?!"
S: "Oh, I remember, Excel!"
