There are two typical complements of ships, as given in the Milton Bradley version of the rules: The player will keep calling consecutive shots until it misses, meaning the next player will call the next shot. In addition to "Salvo", another game variation is that if player gets a hit, the same player takes another turn. In some versions the aircraft carrier is allowed two shots. Thus, each time a player's ship is sunk, that player has one fewer shot in all subsequent turns. Each player has as many shots in each turn as that player has vessels afloat. The starting player announces all five shots, then the opponent announces which if any are hits.
