BiographyBorn in Raleigh, North Carolina, a son of William Henry Bagley, he graduated at the United States Naval Academy in 1895. After serving two years on {{USS|Montgomery|C-9|6}}, {{USS|Texas|1892|6}}, and {{USS|Maine|ACR-1|6}}, he was made ensign, July 1, 1897. In November he was appointed inspector of the new torpedo-boat, {{USS|Winslow|TB-5|6}} and when she went into commission on December 28, he was assigned as her executive officer under Lieutenant John Baptiste Bernadou. In April 1898, the Winslow was with the fleet, mobilized for operations in Cuban waters. On the morning of May 11 the ship went with {{USRC|Hudson|1893|6}} and {{USS|Wilmington|PG-8|6}} to force the entrance to the harbor of Cárdenas. She was fired upon by the Spanish gunboat Antonio López, and immediately there was a general engagement. The Winslow was soon disabled, and was with difficulty hauled out of range of the Spanish guns by Hudson. Just as the engagement ended, Ensign Bagley and four sailors were killed by a shell. NamesakesThe first three U.S. Navy ships named USS Bagley, {{USS|Bagley|TB-24}}, {{USS|Bagley|DD-185}}, and {{USS|Bagley|DD-386}}, were named for Ensign Worth Bagley. The fourth, {{USS|Bagley|FF-1069}}, honors both Worth Bagley and his brother, Admiral David W. Bagley. References
