== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

{{main|5 inch/38 Mk.12 (127 mm)}}
''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

 <!-- ''In the first part of the description, cover the history of the ship's creation and military application. In the second part, tell the reader about using this ship in the game.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} American destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Firebirds"]].
+The USS Bagley (DD-386), the lead ship of her class, was named in honour of Worth Bagley, the only U.S. naval officer killed during the Spanish–American War. Launched in September 1936 and commissioned in June 1937, she operated off the U.S. west coast before serving extensively in the Pacific during the Second World War. At Pearl Harbor in December 1941, she was among the first ships to open fire during the Japanese attack, engaging and downing multiple enemy aircraft. Throughout the war, Bagley participated in key campaigns, including the Guadalcanal landings in August 1942 and the Battle of Savo Island, where her torpedoes inadvertently struck HMAS Canberra in a friendly-fire incident. She provided escort and shore bombardment support during operations in New Guinea and New Britain in 1943 and later took part in major campaigns, such as the Mariana Islands, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa from 1944 to 1945. Following Japan's surrender in August 1945, Bagley assisted with occupation duties before returning to the United States. She was decommissioned in June 1946 and sold for scrap in September 1947.
