Ships going through the straits would have a special sea detail with the navigator, ood and radarman and sonar and CIC all on special alert.

Does anyone know what time this occured, day or night?

and yes ships do run over whales, but surely not on purpose.

My boat the USS Salmon SS 573 ran over a whale one time in the North Pacific.

Conn/sonar "what was that bump?"

Sonar/conn "not sure sir we are surrounded by biologistics"
"our best guess it that it was a whale sir"

Conn eye

We didn't go back to check lol
