Good work SM-3:

"A Navy missile soaring 130 miles above the Pacific smashed a dying and 
potentially deadly U.S. spy satellite and probably destroyed a tank carrying 
1,000 pounds of toxic fuel, officials said."

"The USS Lake Erie, armed with an SM-3 missile designed to knock down incoming 
missiles — not orbiting satellites —
launched the attack at 10:26 p.m. EST Wednesday (0326 GMT Thursday), according 
to the Pentagon.
It hit the satellite about three minutes later as the spacecraft traveled in 
polar orbit at more than 17,000 mph."
