You aren't familiar with how bureaucracies work, are you?
To you, the military is one big well functioning machine that works better than the government, isn't it?
Yeah, no. That's not the military at all. The military is second only to the DMV for unhelpful layers of insulating bureaucracy between you and the goal.
The following is hypothetical, but entirely consistent with how our government works.
The incident and story broke late Sunday. White House would have asked SecDef that monday morning to look into that. SecDef asks Navy (prob CNO) monday afternoon in a meeting they were already going to have about something else, someone suggests checking the sonar, and CNO "gets right on that" , sending it over to NOPF Atlantic by the end of the day.
Choose Your Own Adventure, Path ACNO actually sent it to the right inbox, and it reaches the night shift guy at the desk at NOPF. But he has no idea how to pull the data because he's never had to do it before, so the email sits until his boss gets in the next morning.
Choose Your Own Adventure, Path BCNO didn't send it to the right inbox, it goes to the NOPF's commander rather than the operations desk, and so it isn't seen until the next morning.
It's now Tuesday, and by now you have people actually pulling up log data and going over it. They're quick about it and find it in that shift, putting together a report that goes back out to SecDef that afternoon... but he doesn't see it till Wednesday morning, and sends it over to the Coast Guard as soon as he gets in.
By the end of Wednesday the report is actually in the hands of the search commander.
That is your government at work dekachin.
It is the Adeptus Administratum with fewer cybernetics.
General issues pants on head retarded orders to Colonel; Colonel realises orders to his subalterns, who decide the orders are still pants on head retarded and they pass it to their subalterns who go this is pencil up nose retarded, a step down in my estimation, they pass it the NCOs who sort the shit out and make the generals look good

downvoted & didn't read because 1st line talked down to me.
byeee
p.s. I'm a lot more intelligent than you & don't have time to waste on pretentious idiots.
Not if you think the military isn't Office Space.
This is why you need good NCOs

But you do have time to tell people that you've downvoted them and that you're a lot more intelligent than they are.
I'll bet your dad could beat up all of our dads, too.
