Ships and fishermen (705)

Instruction:
Locate the given fleet in the grid. The ships cannot touch each other, not even diagonally. The ships may be rotated. The clues outside the grid indicate the number of ship cells in the corresponding directions. Ships may not be placed on the cells with fish.
Each ship contains a fisherman. His position is given, but the ship can be rotated.
Fishermen are fishing the fish in the grid. Each fisherman has caught exactly one fish. The number in the fisherman cell denotes the length of the fishing line (in units of cell size) starting in the center of a cell with the number and finishing in the center of a cell with the fish. The fishing lines travel horizontally and vertically, may not touch or cross each other. All the cells are used either by ships, fish or fishing rods.
