What happens when...
Lightning strikes a U-Boat?
Reading a book by Edward Young who was the first RNVR Officer to join the RN Submarine branch. In it he describes a passage across the Med as the watch officer. All of a sudden an electrical storm started and a fork of lightning hit the sea a bit too close for comfort. He made the decision to dive because he didn't know what the result of a lightning strike on 700 tons of steel surrounded by water would be. Any ideas?
