Nearly a year in the works, here is the latest on HSPMS member Clare Hess’ paper model of the US Navy’s “Treaty Era” destroyer USS Bagley, which fought in WWII from day one, having been one of the eight Bagley-class destroyers moored at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The ship went into action, providing anti-aircraft fire against attacking Japanese planes. USS Bagley survived WWII, earning 12 Battle Stars for her actions in the South Pacific.
