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

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.[&:]

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.

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

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

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

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...

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......

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
