150-foot steel-hulled replica of the gunboat San Pablo had been built for the film. The San Pablo was patterned alter the Villa Lobos, a gunboat captured built by the Spanish and captured by Admiral Dewey

The "US San Pablo" is a sailing and shooting replica of a US Navy gunboat uset on mainland China rivers during the 1920s.
Amazing stuff: look close in the film and you will notice a radar reflector in the mast area.

The San Pablo was fictional but based on several old pieces of junk the US had "inherited" from Spain in the Spanish-American War. I'm amazed they made it from the Philipines to China in the first place.
