There are a couple of ways to play battleship cooperatively.
Option 1:
Similar to "Less Stress Guess...Who". Instead of playing as opponents, simply place pieces on one side, and let one person guess while the other tells them "hit" or "miss" and try to get to the end in as few turns as possible. You could even re-frame in a way that lets the "informing" player be the "spy". It's really no less challenging.
Option 2:
A friend of mine* came up with an interesting "coopetition" version of this game, to be played 2-vs-2. On each side you have one "main" player, and one "spy" (or "scout"). The main player asks directly if a spot is a hit or a miss, but the next time it's the team's turn, the spy must play. The spy indicates a 3x3 grid, and asks if the ship lies within it. Regardless of a yes or no answer, and no hits are made. But of course, this can really help the main player the next time it comes back to them.
