Matra...
are you talking about these drones being flown remotely? Or independently guided via gps, or radar of some sort?
Because if you are talking about remote, obviously you would have to fly either one at a time or have a pilot for each drone. Possibly you could have them all controlled by one master remote, or even a few different wings with master remotes. Still, this would require simultaneous launch....the logistics of this are just too complicated. They'd be all flying into each other and s@#t. So nix that.
GPS or radar guidance is feasable, but obviously this requires a much greater level of sophistication and investment. Crisis brings a valid point when he asks whether the drones will have homing capability. If not, then we are talking about drones being either remotely flown, or guided to a fixed point via gps. The remote theory I allready discussed. GPS guidance to a fixed point may work at first, scoring hits with the element of surprise. However unless they are carrying a significantly lethal payload to destroy or disable a ship in this first wave, a ship could move out of the way.
Obviously a homing drone is not out of the question, but once more you would be adding significant investment and sophistication to the equation. Plus homing devices need to emit their own radar signal, thus unveiling themselves to their target. Unless you are talking about laser guidance or some other form of passive guidance. The costs just keep adding up now
Another thing, your napalm theory is interesting. However carriers do have remote sprinklers on the upper decks, and hatches can be sealed to prevent leakage to the lower deck. These measures were set in place to deal with chem/bio weapons. Dealing with fires is one of the most often practiced drills in the navy, I am confident it could be dealt with.
