No. And the evidence shows a skewed vulnerability of beaked whales to mid-frequency sonar. Certainly there are some instances of mass strandings of other species that correlate with naval exercises that could have used mid-frequency sonar, but the clearest, most often repeated pattern of morbidity and mortality involves diving beaked whales meeting a naval exercise with mid-frequency sonar in play.
