Certainly not just a house rule, I've met it everywhere.
And, as it seems from further down the thread, it seems to be the difference because large parts of the world rely on Hasbro's Battleship as the rule source, while the other seems to play by older rules (by the time Hasbro/Milton Bradley released the game, it was already almost a century old).
Others from Spain and Germany also seem to know that rule, but it was not in the official Hasbro version of the game. This is what appears to make that difference.
Lol at trying to cop out on being wrong by claiming you were basing your answer on the pre 1963 pencil and paper game of Battleship. What's worse is that you COULDN'T stack ships in the paper version and that the picture\meme for this post is using the boardgame.
You're a riot, man. People must love how right you always say you are.
You're either serious about it and trying to turn a friendly game meme discussion into some kind of battle, or you're trolling and doing so with 0 finesse. Keep your game a little higher.
Either way, since you love being contested, here are pre-1963 ship figures for Battleship, dated early XX century:
Hasbro hasn't been first in that, either. They are just large enough to dictate what is considered to be "official". And this is far from isolated case.
Lol. Yeah. That's what you were basing your rules on. Sure.
