1942: Machine guns replaced
with 6 20mm
Oerlikon AA guns.
Fire control radar added,
most likely FC
at first. Four depth charge throwers added and depth charge
loadout increased to 44. 1943: 1x2 40mm Bofors AA guns added. |
The Bagleys were ordered
in
1935. They were very similar
to the Gridleys
but
were
completed in Navy yards in
1937.
The commercial shipyards responsible for the Gridleys apparently cut many
corners in construction
which the
Navy did not, with the result that the Bagleys were
both structurally
stronger and more stable. This allowed them to receive more light
antiaircraft armament as
the war
progressed. However, they also reverted to the slightly less
powerful
machinery used in the Mahans, making them
somewhat
slower.
