Here’s a Battleships (Loop)! I found that the Wikipedia page "Museum ship" draws a distinction between a '"real" museum ship' and a 'ship replica', based on a lack of original materials, parts, or work tools. It’s a real-life Ship of Theseus scenario 🚢

Rules: Place the given fleet of ships into the grid so that no two ships are touching, not even diagonally. Rotating ships is permitted. A clue outside the grid indicates the number of cells in the corresponding row or column that are occupied by ships. Cells with waves cannot be occupied by a ship. A given ship segment must be used as the part of a ship that its shape represents.

Additionally, draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all remaining cells.
