Monday Mutant 22: Battleships (Shinro)

Ten ships (as indicated below the grid: one four-cell ship, two three-cell ships, three two-cell ships, and four one-cell ships) are hidden in the grid. The ships may be rotated from the orientations shown, but may not overlap or occupy cells which share a corner or an edge. A number to the right of a row or below a column indicates how many cells in that row or column are occupied by ships. No cell containing an arrow may contain part of a ship, but every arrow must point to at least one ship segment in that row, column, or diagonal (although not every ship segment needs to have an arrow pointing to it). Locate the ships.
This variant is inspired by a puzzle called Shinro, a puzzle apparently of Japanese origins.
