The acoustic signature was received by a classified surveillance system (probably SOSUS) and there would have been a necessary interval for analysis and declassification, and public release. What I've read suggests that they did mobilize a submersible asset to get on-site information, but those things take time to transport, first by air, then by sea. Do you have this childish idea that everything can happen all at once?
