OK, assuming for a minute that these pings pan out, could someone with real knowledge of the subject give a rough number for how long it will take to:
1) Triangulate the location to a limited area;
2) Bring in side scan sonar to survey the area;
3) Do the survey and identify likely targets;
4) Bring in appropriate deep sea submersibles (manned or remote);
5) Go take a look and definitively say this is it and start actual recovery?
I'd like to think the necessary side scan and submersible resources have already been tasked to the general area, but maybe I'm being too optimistic. So what time period are we looking at - a week, two weeks, a month? Longer?
