Increase the size of the sub, and you can use capture nets, but it would
take a while to do that. If you are cluttering up the upper deck with
catapults, I don't imagine that arrestor lines would increase your hull
noise much more. Limit yourself only to tilt enigne/VTOL capable drones.
Or, you can use float eqiupped drones, and a "wet dock" bay like they use
in troop ships. All of those are going to require making a larger sub than
a boomer, in fact.
