Ship grounding means that its hull has wandered or strayed into waters too shallow, and has effectively grounded (bottomed) itself on the bottom of the waterway in which they're navigating, so that it can no longer float. Grounding usually happens near shore, when ships are navigating to and from port.
It does happen infrequently with submarines as well - there have been occasions where submerged boats have collided with underground mountains/obstacles that were uncharted, or the boat was off-course.
In pretty much 99% of all grounding cases, the Captain of the vessel, its Navigator, and Executive Officer are usually relieved of duty. It is considered one of the most egregious examples of maritime incompetence and irresponsibility, unless there are extreme mitigating circumstances (e.g., you were blown off course and into shallow water by a hurricane).

How a ship can be electrically grounded?
A ship can be electrically grounded by connecting its electrical systems to a grounding system that directs excess electrical energy safely into the water. This can be achieved using grounding rods or plates attached to the ship's hull, which are submerged below the waterline. Additionally, the ship's metallic structure can be bonded to its grounding system to ensure that any stray currents dissipate effectively. Proper grounding helps protect the ship's electrical systems and personnel from electrical faults and lightning strikes.
What is the difference between a phase to ground connection and a grounded wye connection?
A 'grounded-wye' connection describes a wye-connected supply, whose star-point (or common point) is grounded. This is essential in order to ensure stable phase voltages. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'grounded-phase' connection; if you mean a 'grounded-line' connection, then this is a short-circuit to ground from a line conductor.
