Fair winds and following seas Chief

Naval reaction to hostilities along the river peaked in the early 1920's and 1930's. In the early 1920's the patrol found itself fighting the forces of deadly warlords and ruthless bandits, then, in the late 1920's, Chiang Kai Shek and the Northern Expedition, created a volatile military situation for the patrol along the Yangtze. During the early 1930's communist armies took control of much of the north bank of the middle river and the patrol was there to protect U.S. lives and property. The climax of hostilities occured in 1937 with the "Rape of Nanking" and the sinking of the USS PANAY by the Japanese. These acts created an international incident which has often been regarded as the beginning of World War Two in the Pacific.
