I’ve never served in the navy,
Is it feasible that a couple of soviet agents stationed onboard key USN vessels sabotaged them to disrupt their operations during a massed missile attack?
i.e. the attack's time was preplanned and the agents were talled to disrupt the ###wierd protective gadjet### at 21:32 moscow time.
(even if it only for a couple of minutes)

Anything is possible, but a lot of things have to go right. The Navy does background security checks for a reason. Assuming you get a sleeper aboard, it is hard to communicate. Coms are controlled on board, but a coded message could be sent to the sleeper. Its also hard to shutdown a system, there are backups for most everything. Even if you somehow shut down the AEGIS system on a ship, another is usually nearby.
And it would have to be a sleeper, unless the KGB can find some suicidal traitors.
