Less than an hour before the end of the forenoon watch, 11:03, on 18 January 1944, Sea2c Maurice L. Bosshart, V-6, USNR, a passenger traveling in Lynx for further transportation to "YRD(M)-1" for duty, fell overboard. Thirty seconds after Bosshart was reported over the side, "Lynx" ran up her “five” flag at the dip and dropped two life rings and a Franklin life buoy within of him. "Zuni" left the formation at 11:04 to conduct a search, while "Lynx" signaled her tow to look for the man and put life rings in the water. Sailors on board section 13 of the advanced base sectional dock "ABSD-1", however, reported that they had lost sight of him. The following day, 19 January, "Lynx" held a memorial service for Sea2c Bosshart at 09:30.
