When did the game battle ship come out?

The game Battleship was originally developed as a pencil-and-paper game in the early 20th century, with its first known publication in 1931 by the game company Milton Bradley. The plastic version of Battleship, which features a grid and pegs for tracking hits and misses, was released in 1967. Since then, it has become a popular board game and has seen various adaptations and digital versions.
