Was the USS Panay attacked by Japanese?
Yes, but there were actually three separate ships named USS Panay : # A gunboat (originally Spanish) that operated in the Philippines from 1899 to 1920. # USS Panay (designation PR-5) was a river gunboat on the Yangtze River in China, which served from 1927 to 1937, when it was sunk by Japanese aircraft (officially by mistake but likely as provocation). An unusual result of the sinking was a substantial number of donations from Japanese citizens seeking to compensate the victims. # A US Navy cargo vessel (AG-41) previously named "Midway", renamed to allow the use for the escort aircraft carrier (CVE-63) launched in 1943. Strangely enough, that Midway was also renamed as the "St. Lo" to allow the name to be used by the large carrier Midway (CV-41).

How did the Confederacy protect its river systems against the Union navy?
The South's river systems were vital for each side in terms of troop and supplies transport. The Union held the upper hand on the rivers due to the size of its gunboat fleet. On the other hand, the South had no major gunboat fleets to counter the Union navy. All they could do was to resort to guerrilla warfare and use rifle fire from river banks. This rarely stopped any Union gunboat operations. Only when the Confederates could bring artillery to the river banks did they sink Union vessels. On more narrow rivers, the Rebels had a better rate of success. Notable successes were near Johnsonville on the Tennessee River and on the White River in Arkansas.
