A grown blue whale is about 1/5 the length of the USS Connecticut.
If a submarine crashed in to a whale, it would not only have the forces of trying to accelerate the mass of the whale, it has to accelerate an object with a large surface area under water.
Aerodynamics vs hydrodynamics might skew your perception of the forces involved.
