Today's Pic...

[niceguy2005]

My guess would be an American gun boat partorlling in China. I couldn't tell you which one though.

[panda124c]

The stern is either from a sailing ship or this is a mine layer. I think it a mine layer. Don't know which one or who's. The camoflage looks UK.[&:]

San Pablo... I see Steve freakin' McQueen on the fordeck and Richard Attenborro (sp) swimming to shore for some R & R[:D]

[tsimmonds]

Sand Pebbles was my first thought as well....[;)]

[greg_slith]

The movie did a pretty good job of depicting a US gunboat, judging by the picture. I'll have to check with tankerace to see if Steve McQueen is factored into WPO. Too bad we can't sail up the Yangste.

[Feinder]

She is not the San Pablo.

[DuckofTindalos]

Especially since she seems to be in camo; looks like a militarised yacht of some sort.

Except for the movie, i don't think there was a US gunboat with that name...

[DuckofTindalos]

There was a Barnegat class seaplane tender called the San Pablo.

According to "Dictionary of Fighting Ships", AVP-30 was San Pablo.

** GRR. Beat me to it.

still not a gunboat, i think[:'(]

[greg_slith]

O.K. How about the yacht from Final Countdown?[:D][:'(] Is that an F-14 in the backgrounf?[X(] And yes, I know I'm wrong.

[rtrapasso]

Here is San Pablo:

[Feinder]

A little hint.

Y'all are all on the right track.

In fact, the mystery ship served time as a yacht and a gun-boat...

[Mynok]

still not a gunboat, i think

Agree....can't see any *guns* on it.......in fact, can't see anything to indicate what it is, other than it obviously at one point carried passengers (covered walkways on the side).

Hmmmm.....I wonder if this is a sub tender......

[rtrapasso]

Hopefully not the Black Douglas (we did that one before...)

[jrlans]

Im prety sure its definatly some sort of auxalry ship it only appears to have 1 20mm on the stern. Mabye a 3 incher on the bow but its hard to tell. I would say its a sub tender or maybe even a PT tender

[Mynok]

AH-HAH!!!!!

AGP-2 Hilo MTB Tender...... I had the tender part right!

[DuckofTindalos]

There was doubt?
