One thing we're all forgetting here is that the Blue Ridge, for all its retrofits and upgrades so far, Is still nowhere Near even 'Q-ship' status in the skies; In this case, like any other civilian-made vessel, the command gondola is the literal brain of the ship, and, while communications can be streamlined by a 'filtering' officer handling the internal phone system, there's no dedicated 'Gunnery Control' within the ship, nore is there likely to be one without at least a week's overhaul just to shuffle the internal components about.<br/><br/>So, yes, the gunners can (and will) use the ship's internal phone system to dial one another or the bridge to keep one another appraised of what's going on (temporarily leaving their guns unmanned, too, which is not something you want in a battle) but a call that basically says 'torpedo sighted' Is only slightly less pants-browning than 'Fire in the hydrogen stor*BOOM*', and would most definitely be a priority message to all the 'combat' crew, with the implicit message of 'Shut up and aim carefully'. The comments and jokes (Just like on a real ship) would drop off Very sharply when informed that the little pests nipping at them happen to have at least one ship-killer mounted.<br/><br/>It's reasonable to assume that, at this point, the only people that know about the Torpedo are the gunner that first spotted it, and the command crew; information dissemination can commence at the internal communication officer's best speed, and he's very likely to tell Hedy first, because, well, It's only fair to inform the person that signs the paychecks, right?
