Capt Kilowatt posted a long list of links quite some time ago.
A search might find it.
Think about it for a minute. Lightning travels miles thru air. What is a sixteenth of an inch of glass going to stop? Also the idea of navel ships disconnecting their cables and throwing them in a five gallon glass jar is bogus. You don't disconnect cables on a navel ship. I am sure Beetle would like to comment on tbis one. He served on the USS Kitty Hawk carrier a REAL navel ship.
Warren:
How does EMP work in this situation?
Obviously, if a station is struck by lighting and continues to operate; then the EMP must have been eliminated as a problem too.
But I just cannot see how that aspect of it can be true, as it requires going to special lengths to that end.
