It would be far from the first time somebody's science or fishing vessel was spying on someone else.

But would it would be the first time the US has interfered with an ally's spy rig? Five eyes, and all that, it's in our interest, right?

Maybe someone else messed with it.

Germany is not in the five eyes. Its a Commonwealth thing. The US is doing mainly industrial espionage in Germany and drag net mass surveillance...

True. We could be, but we literally fought a couple of wars to stay out of it.
