Answer Posted / er. ankush miglani 0971815107

A DEVICE CALLED MAST IS USED FOR THAT.
IT IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE SHIP.
THIS MAST IS CONNECTED TO A GROUND PLATE AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE SHIP.
THIS GROUND PLATE THEN PASSES THE CURRENT TO THE SEA WATER
WHICH THEN TO D SEA EARTH AS SEA WATER IS A VERY GOOD
