A Norfolk native, Admiral Duke graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1942 and entered the Navy. He served on two submarines in the Pacific during World War II and later commanded two submarines, the USS Piper and USS Trigger, as well as a submarine division and submarine flotilla.

After his military retirement in 1977, Admiral Bayne moved to Irvington, served on a number of corporate and university boards and was instrumental in establishing Georgetown's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. The student center there bears his name. He also was senior counselor to the school's dean for 17 years and served on its board of visitors.
