Almost guaranteed. I have never heard of a case where a US Navy captain hit another ship and was still able to command another ship, regardless of who was at fault.

There might have been. But they were probably sail-powered.
Seriously, there are a lot of officers who are qualified for command of a ship who never get a command because it's a numbers game.
Why would you want to give an officer who screwed up a second chance? When you could easily find another who hasn't?
What admiral would want such a captain in his command, and take the risk he screw up again?
