1) Locating a CV on the open water is diffacult enough for her own airwings to locate her even in daylight and more so especially at night on a dark sea. (There is no light at sea at nighttime and zero being emiited from the ship herself) and she sure wont be holding up a sign stating "here we are". Even most experienced pilots have probelemd locating her at times.
2) Your satellite "may" locate 1 of 11 CV's at sea how sure would you be that this particular one is the one you are searching for at any given point.
3) Satellites dont stay stationary. You would only get surveilence once every so many hours as the satellite follows its orbit.
4) Ever hear of jamming your sat with another military sat. Not saying it happens but would not put it out of reason either.
And that is common sense.;)
And if you notice Google Earth is not exactly time elapsed.
In all honesty, the only way you are going to locate a USN CVN is either on the nightly news or if shes in port. Blindly looking for a CVN at sea in real time is wasting your time.
