Bomb the Navy

This game uses marbles to Bomb the Navy.

The game originally came with unpunched cardboard ships with little cardboard stands, marbles, and a set of instructions.

Players roll the glass marbles to try to knock of the ships. However, it appears that some versions use projectile pellets and rubber bands with a wooden cannon instead of marbles. The number of ships also appears to vary with some editions.

The winner is the player who shoots down as many ships as possible within three shot attempts.

Most sources place the initial publishing date as 1940, but this may be only an approximate date.
