Does Figurehead make a 1/6000 Bagley class destroyer or is it under another name? Thanks……………Doug |

Doug check this link: link And This one: link It lists USS Bagley as a Gridley Class Destroyer which is a modified Mahan Class destroyer. Use 2U71 Farragut, Mahan, Sims in the Figurehead line for the Bagley. |

Sims would be the closest substitute. Mahan and Farragut were two-stackers, Sims and Bagley/Gridley were single-stacked. The torpedo arrangement differs from Sims to Gridley, but at 1/6000 not sure this matters. |

Virtual, I'm just going by the the info I pulled last night. I've got the Bagley in this scale and IIRC it was the Sims class ship. |

Farraguts and their follow-ons the Mahans were two-stacked 5 gunned ships with twelve TT – 1 quad mount centerline and a quad on either side of the hull abaft the funnels. Gridleys and Benhams were single stacked 4 gun ships with 16 TT, 2 quads on each side. Sims were a tad larger then either mentioned previous, kept the single stack, went back to five guns, and had two quad TT mounts on the centerline. |

Bagley herself was the third ship of the Gridley class, and was in the water almost two years before Sims was. |

WARNING WARNING STRANGE SHIPS ENTERING HARBOR!!! (USS Patterson, Gridley class, Savo Island): Now that I have gotten your attention, please note that Bagley (of the Gridley class) is covered by the Figurehead 2U73 "Craven" pack (same class). Sims is in the separate Figurehead 2U71 pack. |
