Drone swarms could certainly take out subsystems like radar/sensor suites, and perhaps even EMALS launchers, but you're not sinking a USN CVN with a few hundred hand-grenades strapped to drones. Seaborne drones carry much more explosive, but again, I doubt they have the armor-piercing properties and kinetic energy needed to penetrate the sides of the ship, which are also armored. Their deck and hull armor both require heavier and armor-piercing ammo.

China is on the right path with hypersonics for A²/AD. Those could well be carrier-killers.
