There is one battleship of four squares, two cruisers of three squares, three destroyers of two squares, and four submarines of one square. Each ship occupies a number of contiguous squares on the grid, arranged either horizontally or vertically. The boats are placed so that no boat touches any other boat, not even diagonally. The numbers along the rows and columns tell you how many squares along that row or column are occupied by a ship.
