Question
I had a game growing up (mid 70's) that was a three level game. the top level was for the ships and the lower levels (3) were for the submarines.  Each player had their own side and to the right of each side was a board you could keep up with hits and misses.  it was like a 3-d  battleship game. Do you know the name of this?

Answer
Sub Search (1977) by Milton Bradley. The game is a three dimensional board. Players hide their submarines and a mine on the three underwater levels, and place their surface ships on the top level. Players move a ship to a desired grid location and then fire a depth charge, marking off hits, near misses, and misses. Opposing submarines can fire a torpedo at surface vessels that are in the same column. Play alternates back and forth until one player sinks all three of his opponent's subs or all of his opponent's surface ships.  Try finding it on eBay.com

I can answer questions based on wargaming. The history of the hobby, the giants (SPI, Avalon Hill, GDW, TSR, etc) and the little guys (Flying Buffalo, OSG, Vanguard, Mayfair, etc). I also know current worth of games based on condition, collectable value.
