King Dedede's Whaling Ship is a contraption used by King Dedede in the anime episode A Whale of a Tale. The whaling ship was disguised as a tour boat as part of his plan to go whaling. The ship secretly had nets and harpoons and other equipment for catching whales stored inside it, meaning that it eventually did turn out that Dedede really wanted to catch the child whale that had appeared at Dream Land's bay. Ultimately, the whaling ship was swallowed whole and therefore destroyed by the child whale.
