Does every ship contribute to naval intelligence?

Do all ships perform intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance, or is it devolved to specialists?

All ships report what they detect, while a command node fuses those reports into a shared picture and assigns the response.

Every ship can contribute observations rather than leaving intelligence collection to one specialist platform. Bearings and electronic contacts are reported to a command node, such as a carrier's intelligence cell, where several lines can be overlaid. The fused picture can identify a likely submarine, aircraft, or surface contact and cue the appropriate weapon or sensor platform. This modern data-sharing logic is linked to the coordinated surface search for Bismarck.
