What are these one hole boats? Budget cuts?

Those are life boats for the women and children

I had a portable talking version of battleship (Battleship Command) as a kid and it has these little planes. If I remember correctly, I think they allowed you to "see" a little bit of the opponents board and you placed them on top of your own ships?

Also the sound effects in that version were great, almost all done by human voice. The ship sinking sound was hilarious "glub glub glub"

Edit: in fact, this picture definitely looks like it's from Battleship Command!

I think it's a plane? Never played a version with them, would take forever!

Yeah, one-hole boats seem like it'd take away what little "strategy" there is in this game. It's pure randomness whether you hit one, and as soon as you hit it it's over.
