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).
