Description

Can you find and sink my battleships?

I have 4 battleships hidden off the North Coast of NSW.

 

1 Aircraft Carrier = 5 squares/images long = 5 geocaches
1 Submarine = 4 squares/images long = 4 geocaches
1 Patrol Boat = 3 squares/images long = 3 geocaches
1 Minehunter = 3 squares/images long = 3 geocaches

 

I have created a 10x10 square grid with images of Australian battleships, past and present, mostly past. My 4 battleships are hidden somewhere within that grid. Discover and sink my ships to discover and find 15 geocaches. Clicking the image below will take you to the playing field. Click any square/image on the grid to be redirected to a jigidi jigsaw. Don't worry, I made them easy. Take a moment to read the description before solving the puzzle - most of them have an interesting true story. Every one of the 100 images has a different Australian battleship image, description and message upon completion of the puzzle (not all the messages are different though). If you are lucky enough to hit one of my battleships, you will be given coordinates for one of the 15 geocaches hidden in the Northern Rivers. I recommend keeping a record of which square you have tried successfully or not so you don't accidenrtally repeat them. I believe if your internet connection is interupted whilst solving the puzzle the message upon completion may not show up, so keep an eye on that.

 

Each of my 15 battleship geocache listings has this same description and will direct you to the game. Geocaching Australia has a corrected coordinates section you can update when you have discovered them. Or you can just plug the coords into your GPS or whatever. Just keep track of which one is which to log them correctly.

This puzzle may resurface on GC with new locations one day.
 
I believe a couple of these might be damaged or missing. I am archiving the series for an unknown period of time. I have no problem with people logging as found whilst archived... if it is found.

The sun was starting to go down when Moogiechew and I arrived at our next destination. There were quite a few cars parked and people walking their dogs. We waited while a person finished scaling their catch. We looked at a few trees and then spotted the cache. Thanks No Tomorrow

When we arrived at this location there was a muggle using the fish scaling bench so we had to wait around a little bit. After looking around various places, we found it! Ravenclaw2480 did the honors of writing the log while I shivered in the chill breeze!

We were checking the wrong trees for a few minutes but widened our search and the evil eyed egg soon spotted it.
Thanks for another one in this series No_Tomorrow

This was to be the last of the Battleship series that I would find today. Another peaceful part of the planet. I’d have preferred to have been here fishing instead of travelling to my next job for work - but I cant complain, not many jobs allow a couple of caches to be found while on the clock!

Another clever hide - Thanks NT!
 
Up periscope. Let's see what you can find. Clan Griffin
