That has zero strategic advantage. it only hurts your odds of winning. *Edit: Since this has gotten a fair amount of debate, let me end it for the couple of youl who think I’m incorrect. When played normally, the odds of finding the 5 spot ship are much higher than finding the 2 spot ship (duh). You have essentially made a single 5 spot ship by stacking. When your opponent lands a hit, they are required to state what ship was struck. This means that once there’s a hit made on those ships, you have to name off ALL the ships under the peg. You transformed a game where you had to find a 5 peg ship, 4 peg, 3 peg, and a 2 peg ship into a game where all you have to do is find the easiest ship to locate (5 peg) and you win the game. This is a no brainer. Also, just for the record, it is against the rules to stack ships.

The real battleship cheat was marking the opponents shots as well as your own and moving ships accordingly. I mean, it’s not like real ships don’t move.
