Battleship (Length 4)
Trait: A four-cell main ship. Its balanced size gives it flexible placement options.
A main-line ship occupying four cells that hides comfortably in the center or along the edges.
The Battleship is a main-line ship occupying four cells. It's shorter than the Carrier, giving it more hiding spots, and longer than the Destroyer, carrying some firepower prestige of its own.
A four-cell ship still stands out fairly well in probability-density calculations. Against an Admiral-level opponent, placing it toward a corner rather than the center helps lower its density.
If you place the Battleship right next to the Carrier, a single directional track could expose both ships at once — so keep them apart.
Placement Tip: Keep it in a different area from the Carrier so a single track can't expose both ships.
