My strategy, start with A1, then B3, C5, D7 and make staggared diagonal lines like that.

My strategy too. The idea is to cast a net of shots that is small enough to catch the little destroyer without covering every square. Usually I call shots all over the board instead of going line by line, but the effect is the same.

Also, I stack all my ships on top of the carrier.
