Sounds like Enquirer material, but it's not totally far-fetched. The DoD spends a lot of money hardening critical systems against electromagnetic spectrum attacks.

There's little doubt that at close range the SPY-1 phased-array radar on Ticonderoga class cruisers or Arleigh Burke class destroyers could interfere with various systems on a fly-by-wire civilian aircraft.
