Screw the standoff, the most technologically advanced and well armed warship on the planet and it could not stop a drone?
Had I been the boss I would have a couple of back-ups, like targeting the drone with all weapons systems if the primary weapon failed.
No problem, it's on the taxpayers now.
edit to add, It seems the drone hit exactly where it would in a real fight taking the ship out of battle. Imagine a real missile armed with real explosives hitting the same spot. Well done drone pilot, you showed them who's boss, now let me get out my wallet.
