- DANFS expanded record for this hull: Wickes-class destroyer (1,213 tons normal; 314'4.5" length; 35 knots; complement 122; 4 4-inch, 2 3-inch, 12 21-inch torpedo tubes). Laid down 11 May 1918 at Newport News, Va., by Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co.; launched 19 October 1918, sponsored by Mrs. Adelaide Worth Bagley (mother of namesake Ens. Worth Bagley); commissioned at Norfolk 27 August 1919, Cmdr. Reuben L. Walker. Atlantic Fleet service: October 1919 sea trials and Gulf port visits (Key West, Pensacola, New Orleans, Galveston); early-1920 repairs for a November 1919 collision with Thomas (Destroyer No. 182) at New Orleans; Guantanamo Bay winter maneuvers January-April 1920; Newport summer exercises; brief Norfolk drydock June 1920; home port Charleston, S.C.; June-July 1921 Washington Navy Yard duty transporting dignitaries (incl. CNO Adm. Robert E. Coontz and Gen. Pietro Badoglio) to the Army-Navy bombing tests off the Virginia capes; designated DD-185 during that period; decommissioned at Philadelphia 12 July 1922 among 157 destroyers inactivated for fiscal reasons; name Bagley lost to new construction DD-386 on 31 May 1935, hull thereafter known as DD-185; renamed Doran 20 November 1939 (conflicts with the 22 December 1939 date in DANFS Vol. 1, NavSource, NavalCoverMuseum, and destroyers.org - carried in gaps); refurbished at Philadelphia and commissioned there 17 June 1940; briefly Atlantic Squadron; delivered to the Royal Navy at Halifax, Nova Scotia, 23 September 1940 as HMS St. Marys (I.12); first British Isles landfall Belfast 8 October; joined 1st Minelaying Squadron on the west coast of Scotland 31 October; Denmark Strait minelaying and convoy escort; collided with transport Royal Ulsterman 29 August 1941, dockyard repair for rest of year; minelaying and escort duty 1942-1943; paid off in the Tyne February 1944; placed in Royal Navy reserve 6 September 1944; broken up 1945.

- DANFS documents identity, dates, and service narrative only - it contains no asbestos or materials information and does not establish exposure, product identity, or quantity aboard this hull. Its 20 November 1939 rename date conflicts with four other sources printing 22 December 1939 (carried in gaps); it omits the 1932-1934 Coast Guard loan documented by DANFS Vol. 1 and NavalCoverMuseum; its loose timing on the DD-185 designation ('during that span' of mid-1921) differs from the fleet-wide hull-classification date of 17 July 1920.

This hull's U.S. commissioned service (1919-1922 and June-September 1940) predates the guide's stated window entirely; only her Royal Navy service (1940-1944) overlaps it, and RN materiel is outside U.S. Navy record series.

No hit names Bagley, Doran, or St. Marys as a ship; the name-collision hulls (DD-386, DE-1069/FF-1069, DD-634) produced no hits under the 'USS' exact-phrase queries either.

- Limitations
- CourtListener coverage limits: public opinion and RECAP indexes do not comprehensively cover pre-electronic-filing state court records or pre-PACER federal filings; this hull's U.S. service (1919-1922; June-September 1940) and 1945 scrapping predate the digitized-litigation era, and it left no museum or reserve-fleet afterlife to generate modern claims. Absence of a hit does not prove no litigation naming this hull exists anywhere. The "HMS St. Marys" opinion query was not completed - the fleet-wide pacing budget withheld request tokens on repeated attempts (seven blocked attempts across two passes interleaved with successful queries); coverage is therefore partial. The NY-court custody opinions were classified as collisions from their captions without confirming the in-text 'DD-185' substring - courts.state.ny.us returns HTTP 403 to automated fetch.
