Ensign Robert W. Hyde joined the crew of PT 337 (PT-103 class Motor Torpedo Boat) on March 5, 1944 as second officer. Early on March 7, 1944, PT 337 was idling in Hansa Bay, located on the north coast of Papua New Guinea, which served as a major Japanese naval base and transit station. Lured into a trap, the crew of the PT 337 came under heavy fire, wounding several and setting the boat on fire. Abandoning ship for the life raft, Hyde escaped with the others attempting to maneuver the raft out of the Bay and firing range. At dawn on the March 7, the raft had drifted and was less than a mile off the entrance to Hansa Bay. But during the morning the current carried it toward Manam Island, a volcanic island about six miles from the shore. Sometime in the evening of March 7, 1944, Ensign Robert Hyde and another set out to swim to shore. They were never heard from again.
