They generally don't. When hunted by killer whales or whaling ships, they usually swam away at speed. When overtaken by the former, they don't show any physical defense and are devoured alive. There have been a few instances of fin whales ramming and damaging or even sinking whaling ships in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
