I am doing research on the Bermuda Triangle and I cannot find anything that explains what "all hands" means.
example: "USS Cyclops disappeared with all hands."

All hands on deck, meaning everybody who was on board. So another way to put it would be "USS Cyclops disappeared along with everybody on board".

All hands simply means all the people aboard. This means that they couldnt find the ship or the people on it.

It means none of the crew was found either. "All hands on deck" means everyone.
