Served on the target ship, USS South Carolina

This one?

"South Carolina, a 1165-ton (burden) iron screw steamship built at Boston, Massachusetts in 1860, was purchased by the Navy in May 1861 for Civil War service. She was commissioned later in that month as USS South Carolina and assigned to the Gulf Blockading Squadron. "

A bit newer than that, CGN 37. Commishioned in 1975, decommishioned in '99, "currently awaiting the scrappers torch".
