Once the evidence couldn't be denied and Honor couldn't hide too much any longer, yes. That's what tlb posted above.
My point is that early on she was partly seeing through what Honor was trying to hide, but she didn't yet have the confidence in herself to believe her own conclusions. Even if she did, she was too junior to be believed by the flag deck. It was easier to believe the lie that Honor was trying to sell that the GSN was flying battlecruisers to their suicide because it was the only thing they could do.
She was also just a Tac officer on a random Lt Cruiser in the screen. If Warner Catlett, her captain, didn't have the level of confidence in her that he did AND have a personal relationship with the fleet Admiral (Tom Theisman), it would have taken a significant period of time for that knowledge to percolate through either the leadership of the fleet of the CIC channels, and most likely filtered out along the way.
