Using Your Smartphone to Rule the Seas
One thing Civilization lacked was an accurate portrayal of sea power. Even in this day of fast and deadly jets, a powerful Navy is still crucial for world dominance. So if you've already vanquished your enemies on land, now's the time to take the battle to the ocean.

And like Civilization Mobile, Navy Challenge is based on a classic. Who doesn't remember playing battleship with a friend, crossing out squares on graphic paper? Set in World War II, Navy Challenge is a turn-based game, and "a darn good Battleship clone." The rules are still the same: You and your opponent (AI) lay out ships on a 10x10 grid. You then take turns calling out grid squares, firing again if you've scored a hit. First player to sink the other's ships wins.

Presentation seems nice, with an isometric POV that's way better than boring top-down. Mobile Game Faqs has a list of supported devices, and you can download the game from Partymob.

A Crippling Caveat? IGN criticizes the game for having spotty AI, and not allowing two people to play against each other.
