Sea Battle Online — Play Free With a Friend

Naval Battle is the modern take on the pen-and-paper grid fleet duel: two fleets, a real fog bank and turn-based gunnery — except here every ship class fires its own pattern and carries its own signature weapon. Challenge a friend in a private room or fight a bot; completely free, no download.

Your fleet: a 5-cell carrier, a 4-cell battleship, a 3-cell cruiser and a 2-cell destroyer. Fleets deploy automatically — the battle starts seconds after you hit Play.

Naval Battle Tactics: Salvos, Fog and Signature Abilities

One ship acts each turn: it either fires or uses its signature ability. The carrier calls a 3×3 air strike, the battleship drops a 2×2 heavy bombardment, the cruiser throws a plus-shaped cross salvo, the destroyer sends a vertical torpedo run. Abilities recharge over a few turns — spend them on confirmed contact, not on a guess.

Enemy waters start covered edge to edge in fog, and every square you fire at burns a permanent hole in it. That is why shooting here is systematic rather than random: once you land a hit, sweep around it, work out which way the hull runs, and finish the wounded ship before it finishes you.

How Is It Different From the Classic Paper Game?

The classic paper naval guessing game was pure blind guessing. Here the turn always passes after a shot — even on a hit. No lucky hit-chains; your offence comes from firing patterns and abilities.

The fog only hides what should stay hidden: you always see your own waters, exactly which cell was struck, and the wreck of every enemy ship you sink.
