Do you mean the USS Maine (ACR-1)? Best guess says she was destroyed when a coal bunker fire ignited the magazines.
A magazine explosion will do the job, I just question whether lightning will even get to the magazines. I can find no information on any such occurrence to an armored vehicle or ship. if you have any such information, please share.
By the way what exactly happened to the M-60? Electronics failure, or total and catastrophic destruction?
Basically the Sharonians are going to be using lightly armored steam powered apcs. What will it take for Arcanans to penetrate that armor? I get the impression that Arcanan dragons would require several shots to penetrate 13 layers of light paper spaced 1 inch apart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipple_shield
Will defeating the armor on the bisons require heating the bodywork to loss of structural strength? If this requires a lot of firepower, the Sharonians may be able to use their Bisons much as tanks were used in the First World War.
