Happens more often then you would think. Large tankers or cargo ships hit them. It isn't unusual for a ship to come into port with a dead whale plastered to the front.

I'm not going to post any photos but you can search for "Dead whale on ships bow" to several examples.

I've seen that too, it's terrible. Honestly, I think it's less understandable so many people get hit by cars than to believe whales get hit by ships. Ocean traffic has become ridiculous, and whales were never really meant to know how to avoid it all.
