Interesting thought experiment, a single Arleigh Burke destroyer has 96 vertical launch cells and can trivially be arranged to fire to a time and incoming bearing on a target. So if an enemy ship, perhaps an aircraft carrier, really pissed off a single US destroyer, it can decide to send all hundred supersonic anti-ship missiles in from the same direction at the same instant of arrival, or from every point on the compass, or maybe three directions at once or who knows what kind of crazy four dimensional incoming attack pattern, like waves of ten missiles at a time every second for ten seconds from ten different directions. So how do you distribute your drones so as to soak up a hundred incoming from one direction while not getting sneak attacked by say five from every 30 degrees on the compass at the same time? Its like say you have a Greek Phalanx, that's pretty well defended over a couple hundred feet, but try to use the same one phalanx spread out to defend all one thousand acres of city-state farmland simultaneously and its not going to work out well.
