>> And I'm sure ships will be upgraded with defenses (if they haven't already).

They already have CIWS (and a bunch of other stuff) to shoot down incoming supersonic and maneuvering anti-ship missiles. Any drone slower or less difficult to hit than those missiles stands little chance. Drones can extend the eye and ears of a ship but they are not going to be killing ships themselves anytime soon.

No air defence system is considered efficient against supersonic, sea skimming missiles, let alone manoeuvering ones.
