The most significant technological development undertaken by the Houthis in coastal defense was the conversion (with Iranian support) of coast guard speedboats into the self-guiding Shark-33 explosive drone boat, which can be programmed to follow a course or home in on a target using electro-optical television guidance. This kind of device was used to successfully attack a Saudi frigate on January 30, 2017, (using television guidance), and unsuccessfully to attack a Saudi oil loading terminal on April 26, 2017 (using GPS guidance while maneuvering at 35-45 knots). The Shark-33 has been employed by the Houthis in a triangular formation, with the attack boat forward, a command boat nearby, and a media boat (to capture combat footage) further away. On one occasion, a Shark 33 was camouflaged by being loaded with fish.

Your reasoning is true that with one ship afor 120h and only 16 suspicious objects to search for, unified and neutralized
120/16=7.5
My study dates back more than 30 years, I could be wrong, but I would say between 3 and 4 hours

The group included 5 minehunters; ENS Ugandi (M315), LNS Skalvis (M53), BNS Crocus (M917), Bad Bevensen (M1063), HNLMS Vlaardingen (M863)
and 2 minesweepers; ORP Drużno (641) and ORP Hańcza (642).

120 hours to research and identify
228 objects as mine-like and only 16 were confirmed as mines and were subsequently neutralized.

7 ships for 120 hours and 228 objects
7*120/228=3.68
or 120/(228/7) =3.68

I keep asking for flying saucers and sea monsters, but no one listens to me.

Supposedly it is being implemented in the current conflict between Russia/Ukraine. I didn't catch it's name but supposedly it is getting the kinks ironed out in it. Anyone know what the system is or know more about it?
