A supersonic flyby would likely blow out windows and damage most of the systems that ship uses to locate and track targets. In other words, disable its war functions without firing a shot.

Would it? I can see that it might break some windows - though even ordinary cargo ships that have to traverse heavier seas are likely to have more durable glass than your standard suburban home, and I would expect that a cargo ship that's actually clandestinely conducting support missions would be kitted out with something stronger. And while the ship couldn't handle an actual attack from US fighters, it seems extraordinarily unlikely that its mission systems don't have even the minimal protection necessary to survive something as mild as a supersonic flyby.
