She was originally named Zora after Stan Lukin's wife, Zora. Ivo Skoljarev bought the Zora from Mr Lukin in 1978 and renamed it Carole S, after his wife Carole.
Carole-S operated commercially as a fishing boat until she was chartered under the RAN's Craft of Opportunity Program for use as an auxiliary for one year around 1983. Carole-S was tuna longline fishing based out of Port Stephens NSW. In 2007 she caught fire and sank off Catherine Hill Bay NSW.
