Well Admiral, the images are first zapped to the people that control the Sats, then off to the interpreters, then up the chain of command to the naval CINC, then back down the chain of command to the shooters.
That process takes hours.

Dont you think that a battlegroup is simply tracked continuesly as soon as it leaves the port? You dont have to search for, you dont have to identify it, you dont need to analyze the pictures, just track its relatively slow progress thus surface warfare department alway knows where each and every US carrier is and where it is headed. Its not a bird, its not a plane (not even a sub), its a slow moving thing the size of a city block surrounded by 6+ other monsters.
