The incident occurred earlier this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The USS Spruance and the USS Michael Murphy, both destroyers, are embarked with the Abraham Lincoln, which is operating in the Arabian Sea in support of U.S. military actions against Iran. However, six other guided-missile destroyers were operating in the Arabian Sea as of last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A helicopter equipped with Hellfire missiles was launched and struck the Iranian vessel with two of the missiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear what type of helicopter was used, but Navy Seahawk helicopters and Marine Corps Viper attack helicopters both have the ability to carry Hellfire missiles. However, MH-60R Seahawks have a multi-mission role which include both anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News contacted U.S. Central Command, the primary unit overseeing U.S. military operations against Iran. A defense official said: &#8220;We have nothing for you on this.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The USS Abraham Lincoln is one of two American aircraft carriers deployed to the Middle East. The Lincoln carrier strike group <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-carrier-strike-group-middle-east-region-iran\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">arrived in the region<\/a><\/span> in late January, part of what President Trump described as an &#8220;armada.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In early February, an Iranian Shahed-139 drone &#8220;aggressively&#8221; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-shoots-down-iranian-drone-approached-us-aircraft-carrier-military-says\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">approached the aircraft carrier<\/a><\/span> and &#8220;unnecessarily maneuvered&#8221; toward it, a U.S. Central Command spokesperson said at the time. The drone was shot down by an American fighter jet, a tense moment between the U.S. and Iran weeks before the war between the two countries began.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the U.S.&#8217;s war with Iran, American forces have damaged or destroyed over 90 Iranian vessels, according to <span class=\"link\"><a
