If it was a US flagship they would have become an oil slick.

I suppose it means in that region. A warship full of gas sounds like a bad idea to me.

Can anyone say Q-ship? What is old, should be new again. Pirates are not the sharpest pencil in the box.

In a way it proves that if merchant ships were armed this piracy nonsense would end.

That's exactly it. The supply ship also served as a the command hub for the ships in the region, but is definitely not the flagship of the French navy.
At least that's what other sources say if you search google news or French newspapers.
