That doesn't help if the first time the whale hears it is when it gets run over by a tanker.

That would be statistically unlikely. Whales have far more safe encounters with ships than lethal ones.

Persist in using the system for a while, on as many ships as possible, and the odds will get even better as time goes on. Whales aren't dumb, they'll figure it out and probably even tell each other about it.
