Actually this happens much more often than you would think. Though it's not as often a "high profile" incident with a passenger ship. Mostly it's with cargo ships in major shipping lanes. Do you know how many ships are in the oceans? I took an environmental religious studies course in college taught by a complete tree-hugger (I say this half-jokingly, but he's a smart guy) and we talked about this one day.
Here's a webpage I found on it....

The real problem with this lies in not having a fishbox big enough to hold that beeotch. I'm quite sure nobody had a knife big enough to fillet that sucker. That's spearfishing on a new level. Does whale taste more like manatee, jewfish, or bald eagle?

Actually, Whale and Cute Fuzzy Kitten taste surprisingly similar.

Cute fuzzy kitten! That's what I remember whale tasting like. I get confused after eating condor and bottlenose dolphin several times a week.

Whale sashimi tastes kind of like bacon.deadend:
While a deck officer on an 11,000 ton ship in the Caribbean, several times we had "big thumps in the night". I was kind of relieved when the sonar guys said they had heard whale noises shortly before the collision. That beats at least one other likely candidate --- a small sailboat without lights or deckwatch, something that we saw way too often.
