Nope, I really do wish there was a career step before command (would certainly be a plus for athmosphere), but when starting a career, you do indeed start with a screen saying "you've been assigned command of USS ____, please report to ____ no later than ____"
The Academy missions are just practice missions to get the hang of game controls, having nothing to do with actual training. I believe latest versions of Real Fleet Boat mod change them to somewhat more realistic training scenarios, but the purpose still has nothing to do with setting you up for career :hmm:
