Or maybe an officer or enlisted man observed that he is a dimwit and told him to run over a whale or told him that he just did because they knew he would believe it and they now laugh about it with friends while drinking.
I have seen those who are a bit slow on the uptake get used for entertainment by others often in the military.In the Air Force they where told to find some "flight line" or "high speed tape" other times they where told to make an aluminum foil arrangement held in the hands while the person holding them spun in a circle this was supposed to help calibrate radars.If these things where done in the Air Force I can imagine a "sharp" Navy helmsman being told too run over a whale and the he had been successful.
