After things are stable, normally a few months, they'll rotate in a regularly scheduled relief. In the case of a CVN, that's always someone new to CVN command (but with prior deep-draft command). The Navy essentially never permanently assigns an officer to command a ship type more than once (you can move up to larger ships).
