The player can see where their ship is placed by the 'S' on the board. The opponent board will only show sea, show as a '.'
Each player has 4 ships on their board, and 4 ships to find from the opponents board.
When a player misses the target, they will be notified on that turn, and then the next turn, their missed shot will be marked with an 'X' on the opponent gameboard to indicate a miss.
When a player hits the target, they will be notified on that turn, and their score will increase. On the next turn, the hit shot will be marked with an '*' on the opponent gameboard to indicate a hit.
The opponent and the player take turns in order of player, opponent. You don't gain an extra turn if you get a hit.
A player will be notified if their opponent gets a hit or a miss in the same way they are notified.
