I'm 90 miles from Columbia and go there w/some frequency...try and find out WHERE that monument is located in Columbia and I'll go by and check on it and get pics...I'm going thru there next week if you can find out before Monday, I'll give it a go...

If you haven't Googled USS Columbia, do it...here's one link I found
