Eight US Navy sailors were injured when an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz two weeks ago.
The injured personnel suffered from smoke inhalation and concussions but did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
One of the injured sailors was a high-ranking officer and the remaining seven were enlisted members.
All eight sailors have returned to their regular duties after the incident.
Officials stated the attacked vessel was not American-owned, though it was a Navy ship.
The Pentagon has faced pressure regarding casualty reporting following the conflict with Iran that began in February.

The eight sailors were added to the database ten days after the September 14 attack.
Officials attributed the reporting delay to symptoms manifesting over time and limitations in real-time system updates.
