| 27k | Ensign Worth Bagley (April 6, 1874 - May 11, 1898) was a United States Navy officer during the Spanish-American War, distinguished as the only U.S. naval officer killed in action during that war. Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, he graduated at the United States Naval Academy in 1895. After serving two years on the USS Montgomery, Texas, and Maine, he was made ensign, July 1, 1897. In November he was appointed inspector of the new torpedo-boat Winslow, and when she went into commission on Dec. 28, he was made her executive officer under Lieutenant J. B. 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 the Hudson and the Wilmington to force the entrance to the harbor of Cárdenas. She was fired upon by one of several Spanish gunboats, and immediately there was a general engagement. The Winslow was soon disabled, and was with difficulty hauled out of range of the Spanish guns. Just as the engagement ended, Ensign Bagley and four sailors were killed by a shell. | Bill Gonyo |
