The airship gets in a dramatic duel with Bismark that results in its ramming the whale, taking it down in fiery glory. This does mean you lose your airship(s), but the captain somehow survives this with a limited amount of (randomized) unique items. If you have all the airships you can get you save all your FCs unique items.

May also result in your retainer captain getting some Bismark loot.
