Like any other court proceeding, it depends on the evidence and the statements of the crew.

Chester Nimitz grounded a submarine once. He went on with his career.

He grounded the USS Decatur a destroyer not a sub. He was court martialed and convicted for the incident. He switched to sub later.

That's true, it was his first sub command and he was court-martialed for running the USS Decatur aground. Nimitz.
