How a ship can be electrically grounded?

A ship can be electrically grounded by connecting its electrical systems to a grounding system that directs excess electrical energy safely into the water. This can be achieved using grounding rods or plates attached to the ship's hull, which are submerged below the waterline. Additionally, the ship's metallic structure can be bonded to its grounding system to ensure that any stray currents dissipate effectively. Proper grounding helps protect the ship's electrical systems and personnel from electrical faults and lightning strikes.
