However, its origins trace back much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to records kept by the <a href=\"https:\/\/healthy.uwaterloo.ca\/museum\/VirtualExhibits\/Whitehill\/Battleship\/index.html#:~:text=%22Battleship%2Dstyle%22%20games%20were,right%20after%20World%20War%20I.\" target=\"_blank\">University of Waterloo<\/a>, the game got its start in Russia around World War I. However, Jeffrey Hinebaugh, author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/A_Board_Game_Education\/gUK_AAAAQBAJ?hl=en&#038;gbpv=1&#038;bsq=battleship\" target=\"_blank\">A Board Game Education<\/a>,\u201d indicates the game may have actually first been developed by the French under the moniker \u201cL\u2019Attaque.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019Attaque began as a paper-based grid contest, but the idea moved in the 1960s to a board grid with plastic ships made by Milton Bradley. This iteration, called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/1508\/broadside\" target=\"_blank\">Broadside<\/a>,\u201d was themed after the War of 1812.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game of \u201cBattleship\u201d as we know it more or less today evolved into a two-console system with a plastic interface, but the principles of the game that began in World War I have largely stayed the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn 1967 Milton Bradley issued their version of the game of Battleship,\u201d notes Waterloo research. \u201cRather than relying on pencil and paper, the box included two plastic trays, pegs, and plastic ships, and printed instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hasbro now produces the game, which features aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, patrol boats and battleships, <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.hasbro.com\/en-us\/product\/battleship-classic-board-game-strategy-game-for-kids-ages-7-and-up-fun-kids-game-for-2-players\/54D1C85E-CFBE-4625-9A9E-53C36F4D136C\" target=\"_blank\">according to the game site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently many different versions, including an electronic version and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Battleship-Star-Wars-Edition-Game\/dp\/B00SDJGCL6\" target=\"_blank\">special edition Star Wars<\/a> board. \u201cBattleship\u201d also went digital in the form of a video game by Activision in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historians trace its origins back to World War
