I've looked at the code and i'm almost sure they don't, each time you click 
on a map position the client sends a message asking if it has water or a 
ship and the other player answers. It is better that way, because if the 
ships positions were exchanged at game start you could use tcpdump or a 
similar utility and cheat the game.
