You sunk my...what the heck is that thing?

I was poking around the board game aisle at Walmart today and noticed that Battleship has gone hex-grid. And one of the new ships made for this layout appears to be an offshore platform of some sort with three pods coming out from a central hub. Weird.

I'm surprised by the hex-grid arrangement being introduced, but not so much by the "oil platform"-type addition to the game.

You've sunk my Sky Raiders base (http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Image:SkyRaidersBase1.jpg)!

(Now I'm picturing an aerial version of Battleship, with various airships from fiction. "You've sunk my S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier!")
