It is.

I suspect a mans picture was taken before the hangar module was lifted into place

Nice shot with D5 right next for a comparison

Could this double as a supply ship for islands farther away in the south China sea?

It could but I think they already planned more supply ship service with this new vessel.

More pics with better view of hangar.

Very impressive Coast Guard "Cutter." Any pictures of the main gun mount and CIWS mounts?

I mean like a replenishment ship for smaller coast guard vessels to increase their endurance?

If there is only one ship in this picture, it is too long. Tow ships docking side-by-side?

Nope, it is only a single ship.

Remember this thing is 12,000 tons.

She has a pretty large flight deck. That might well have been the starting point for the design. But why would a "cutter" need such a large flight deck?
