This puzzle was made last year for the OUCH! Series presented on CTC server.
Rules:
- Normal 9x9 Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Battleships: Place the given fleet of ships into the grid so that no two ships are touching, not even diagonally. Rotating ships is permitted. A clue outside the grid indicates the number of cells in the corresponding row or column that are occupied by ship segments.
- German fleet: All ships are German Whisper lines. German Whispers Lines: Adjacent digits along the line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio, meaning one is exactly double the other. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Example (German whispers have a difference of at least 3):

Awesome puzzle, the Battleships were engaging the entire way through. And the puzzle had the perfect challenging/everything is fair ratio the entire way through. Very well set!
> Thanks a lot!
> Just to make sure nobody makes a mistake because of it, I believe Statue Park and battleship have a slightly different rule: in battleships, "pieces" can't be next to each other, even diagonally.
My apologies, I got my wires crossed on the puzzle types, I edited the original comment for clarity.
