That was the San Pablos.in the movie...There were three actual gun boats on the Yangtze and the US forces left China in 1937 after the Japanese invaded. The Panay was bombed by the Japanese as it was leaving China with two other boats and the Nanking Marine Garrison commander and his family. I knew his son in the Corps.
