Jesse,

Here's two sources for the USS Jacob Jones (DD-130): http://www.hazegray.org/danfs/destroy/dd130txt.htm and http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/130.htm .

Links at the bottom of the page will take you to other sites as well.

These sites also have some information on USS Panay (PR-5): http://www.hazegray.org/danfs/patrol/pr5.htm and http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/1205.htm .

Regards,

Probably the finest book on the Yangtze Patrol from beginning to end is Yangtze Patrol, by Kemp Tolley.
Tolley was an officer aboard USS Mindanao, and was there when Panay was attacked.
I have a small collection of naval ship covers,
I have attached one from USS Monocacy mailed from Hankow, China in 1938.
It contains a memoriam for USS Panay-
Sorry for the poor quality-
