Similarly, naval ships typically have feeds that do not use "one side earthed" conductors. Also a battle damage mitigation. You can sustain either conductor a short to hull and still have a working circuit.
Power plants and substations use ungrounded DC feeds, for a similar purpose. Control is not lost even with a stray short to ground.
Of course, all this magic comes with a price. The safety of "a" human places second after the safety of the ship/mission. And, surge voltages and other similar mayhem are exasperated with ungrounded systems.
