The original "Battleship", an unpatented game created by Clifford Von Wickler in the early 1900's, was subsequently taken by the Milton Bradley Company in 1943 and released as the pad-and-pencil game "Broadsides, the Game of Naval Strategy".
The game has since been updated for various platforms, including video games.
