Actually, that's pretty damn "efficient". To put this in perspective, in WW2 it typically took four to five months for a B-17 to rack up 25 missions, or roughly 1 mission per week. Further, a carrier battle group does far more than generate aircraft sorties. It is not idle when it is not generating sorties.
