I haven't immediately found anything.
This site may be of interest:
http://vesterheim.org/CivilWar/
Norwegians in the Civil War.
They list a Grover P. Norgard 16 Nov 1839 - 28 Nov 1901, who was in the USN at the right date.
Someone born in 1845 is a little young, but may have served in 1862.
The National Archives may be a source for further info, but you'll either have to visit or pay someone to do research.
