So I am no drone/munitions expert and realize there are guidance and targeting issues, but would it not be more advantageous to hit the side to puncture the tank and allow the contents to spill and affect other tanks in the farm?

I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way

I see bad times today

Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

You may be thinking about larger drones. However, as Ukraine showed last year with Operation Spiderweb, that you can hide tons of small drones in a truck, get it close and go nuts. www.reuters.com/graphics/UKR...

The "replacement" is a module on the LCS aka Little Crappy Ship. From I have read there are not that many modules period and the LCS has proven itself unsuitable for anything but a visual reminder that the Navy should not be allowed to supervise procurement period

As the threat of mines in the Straights of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf in general I am reminded of this article in The War Zone in which a few months ago the trump admin PULLED all the minesweepers out of the gulf.
