also, whether it's MSM, FB, snopes or whoever is going on with the whole "fake news" thang… it's always about who is the source, who said this or that… appeal to authority much?

how about giving a fuck about what is actually said/published?

"The photos, which were posted on French defense journalist Philippe Chapleau's blog, were taken on February 27th, 2018, nearly two months after the picture was taken in Oman. The location is also important, with these photos being snapped in Victoria, on Mahé Island, the capital city of the Seychelles Archipelago."

"The location of the stealthily named MV Ocean Trader in recent months also points to its operating current area—the Arabian Sea. The vessel was built for low-intensity conflicts and supporting special operations missions, making hotspots like Somalia an ideal area for targeted operations. The ship is also uniquely suited for counter-piracy operations around the Horn of Africa as it was specifically procured and modified not to appear like a combat ship. In essence, it is the bait and the trap all in one. Supporting special operations forces in Yemen and interdicting illicit cargo heading from Iran to Houthi fighters in that country is also another possibility.

Considering it has called on ports in Oman and Seychelles, it's probable that it also calls Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean home from time to time. The Naval Support Facility there can accommodate the ship, and there aren't any curious onlookers to deal with. Military Sealift Command, which is a principal participant in the program, has a large footprint there, with nearly a dozen prepositioning ships assigned to Diego Garcia's lagoon. "
