This article is suppose to point at a table, but I don't see it. I suppose that it can really narrow it down with black ops BS and bombers having 0 delay, with a couple of thips doing 10 while all the rest are 5?

Sensor recalibration delay is an attribute of the cloaking device itself, not the ship its equipped on. As you noted some ships (bombers and black ops) have a role bonus to eliminate this delay because those ships are designed around using cloaks to introduce other people to sudden unexpected combat.

Training the cloaking skill reduces the recalibration delay on all cloaking devices by 10% per level. So, not counting bomber and black ops hulls that would be a minimum 5 second delay with a covert ops cloak or a 10 second delay with a T2 non covert ops cloak. Officer/faction cloaks have a bit less recalibration delay than the normal versions so there is that as well.

Also all non covert ops cloaks have a rather hefty penalty to scan resolution so your lock time is going to be rather bad on any ship that can't fit a covert ops cloak. This includes black ops and black ops pilots have been complaining about this for years.

Well, you make up for the resists in the fact that you can go anywhere you want in low-sec and null-sec without having to use gates, can bridge in entire SB fleets, etc. My only real complaint with BLOPS is the Cov Ops Cloak restriction.
