This would not have been the case. What you might be getting confused with is that the procedure of recalling fleets only came into affect after two or more ticks had been affected. If the problem could have been fixed within one hour of the original fault fleets would not have been recalled. As we are all volunteers we cant always get things fixed that quickly.
