    Assuming for the moment that there's anything to the story...
    
    The missile will presumably be an SM-3 fired from an AEGIS cruiser. The
    missile has a nominal operating ceiling of 160 km; I'd guess the
    intercept would be on a descending pass over the Pacific with the ship
    somewhere in the vicinity of Hawaii.
    
    Maybe.
