Earn a Battleship Fun Patch and experience the Battleship like you never have before! Send messages from the signal bridge using semaphore. Hoist international signal flags. Solve the mysteries of secret codes. Talk to your friends using sound-powered telephones. Blow the bosun's pipe with the help of female Coast Guard personnel.
