Spiral Galaxies + Battleships (1033)
Instruction:
Locate the indicated fleet of ships in the grid. Ships may be rotated before being placed in the grid. Each piece of a ship occupies a single cell. A cell that does not contain a ship piece is considered "sea". Ships do not touch each other, not even diagonally (that is, if two ship pieces are cells that share an edge or a corner, they must be part of the same ship). The contents of some cells may be given for you. Each number to the top and left of the grid reveals the number of ship pieces that must be located in that row or column (including any that might be given for you).
Then divide the cells that are not occupied by the fleet into polyominoshaped regions such that each such cell is in exactly one region. You may only draw on the grid, as indicated by the dotted lines. Each region must be rotationally symmetric and contain exactly one circle at the point of symmetry. (It is permissible for some circles to be completely within one or more cells that are occupied by ship pieces and therefore not in any region.)
