Why would lightning storms change the direction of a ships compass needle?

Lightning can create a strong magnetic field when it strikes a ship, causing the ship's compass needle to temporarily change direction. The intense electromagnetic field generated by the lightning can interfere with the magnetic field that the compass relies on for navigation. Once the lightning subsides, the compass should return to its normal direction.
