The cyberattack occurred a week ago as part of the government's response to a drone attack by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that killed three U.S. servicemen in Jordan late last month and wounded dozens of others, the report said.

NBC reported that the operation was intended to interfere with the ship's ability to share intelligence with Houthi militants in Yemen.
