Does this answer your question:
(*) Have a box on the side with the still-to-be-placed ships
(*) User clicks on one of these (removing ship from box), then a location in
the grid.
(*) Ship is placed there in current orientation (allow it to clip).
(*) have two rotate-buttons for each rotation direction.
(*) Hitting these buttons rotates the last placed ship about its placement
point.
(*) Have a 'finish' button. This is only active if all ships have been
placed legally.
(*) Have a "delete" button also. Clicking on a placed ship and then 'delete'
will remove it from the grid and place it back in the side box.
(*) Clicking on a ship already placed in in grid 'selects' it. It can now be
rotated (again), and clicking on an empty locatin in grid will place it
there at current orientation if legal.
'Legally" mean no clipping and no overlapping.
You can get fancy by not allowing rotations to stop in illegal positions,
and/or disallow placing ships for which no orientation is legal.
That should get you started... : )
