A similar trick works for repairing ships, no doubt due to a similar bug. You
can repair any ship to pristine condition by repeated pressing of B while the
ship is in one of your ports. I tend to find that the computer's battleships
have the odds so much in their favour that you need this trick to be able to
take them on with anything less than four-to-one odds. One of his battleships
can regularly keep three of mine busy for ages, even when I'm continually
repairing mine this way. You need bombers and/or multiple submarinees to take
out his battleships.
