As much as I am a "Question Authority" sort of individual, I must side with 
the Navy on this one. All these two young pilots would have had to do was 
call up their base ops on the radio and "request permission to divert" for a 
SAR effort. It probably would have been granted. Happens all the time, but 
you must let those responsible for assigning airframes know where you are 
and what you are doing.
