In 1983, the nuclear powered aircraft carrier Enterprise ran aground in San Francisco Bay. At the time of the grounding, the harbor pilot was in complete control of the carrier as it entered the Mare Island Naval facility. The Captain still lost his command, which essentially ended his career.

Actually there were other extenuating circumstances which got the skipper in trouble. Try Googling 'USS Enterprise + grounding' - I found some interesting stuff just yesterday while researching that incident for another purpose.
