Default Whale strikes

How stupid does a ship manned by many people and all the latest
electronics, have to be, to run into a whale?

A big ship would not see them in time, and if they did, would not have
time to avoid them. We are a lot closer to the water in our boat,
but did not see the minke whales until they were about 100 feet away.
A large ship would probably not see them at all.
