Does anyone know how those big ocean liners are protected from lightning
strikes?

Does anyone know how those big ocean liners are protected from lightning

Since the Wizard did not work, you better pray for a brain.

Please show how this "prayer" technology works to protect an ocean
liner from lightning.

Well, now, do you honestly think that the technology that ocean liners
use is "prayer"??

No, but since there isn't any current brain-transplant technology then
your best hope in that department is "prayer". Lots of it....

Most are protected through strike termination devices located high enough to
provide a "zone of protection" to the ship and its occupants.
These strike termination devices are bonded to grounding conductors that are
connected to grounding plates in contact with the water.

These systems do nothing to prevent strikes (they may actually cause more of
them) but they do dramatically reduce the chances of serious injury or
death.

Thanks Joe, that is interesting.
