HMS Edinburgh was asked by the U.S. Secret Service in June to point her ceremonial Sea Dart missiles away from the Presidential Suite of the Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa as Michelle Obama was staying there.
The ship had loaded the missiles as it was carrying out the repatriation of an officer who had died on the ship just days before.

Why is it “ordered” in the headline and “asked” in the article? I didn’t know the US Secret Service could order Royal Navy Ships around?
