About Battleship grids
Battleship is played on a lettered and numbered grid: columns run A onward, rows count from 1, so every square has a name like B7 — the same idea as reading points on a coordinate plane. This sheet gives you one grid or a stacked pair (your fleet and your tracking grid), sized to fit the page.
Each square is named by a letter column and number row, like B7, so the sheet works for the classic hidden-fleet guessing game. Print a single grid, or a stacked pair — one for your ships and one to track your shots at the opponent's fleet.
The lettered-and-numbered layout doubles as coordinate-plane and map-reading practice in class — a favorite low-pressure way to teach reading and plotting coordinates. Grids are sized to fit the page cleanly.

Common questions
Is Battleship good for teaching the coordinate plane?
Yes. Naming a square by its letter and number is the same skill as locating a point on a coordinate plane, so Battleship is a popular, low-pressure way to practice reading and plotting coordinates in class.
Does it include two grids per player?
You can print a stacked pair — one grid for your own fleet and one to track your guesses — or a single grid.
What size are the grids?
Standard Battleship uses a 10×10 lettered and numbered grid; the sheet fits it neatly to your page.

Printing at the right size
Every sheet is drawn in real units, so it prints true to size as long as you print at 100%. In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% and turn off “Fit to page” or “Shrink oversized pages” — then a 5 mm square really measures 5 mm. Download a vector SVG to edit later, a PNG at up to 600 dpi, or a ready-to-print PDF. Everything is generated in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and every sheet is free to print for personal, classroom and commercial use. See the guide to printing at true size or the FAQ for more.
