PN,
Sorry; I couldn't resist!
You are quite correct. UAVs are fine if they are in the correct place (although I struggle to think where the are going to put 200 odd sonobuoys!); however, if they are in the wrong place, it (currently) would take a long time to get on station. Useful for fleet protection, perhaps, but I'm not sure how it would deal with location of an 'intruder'.
