Is it unrealistic to think a Chemical Engineering undergrad could move on to a Naval Archcitecture & Marine Engineering Master's?

Posting here because the Naval Architecture sub is essentially dead and it's mechanical engineering adjacent.

I did all 4 years of my Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering, and about a year and a half ago I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life but was too afraid to start over in another curriculum and I'm kicking myself eternally for doing so.

I've been speaking with a professor at a university with a fantastic NAME department and I've been told a couple of times that even if I do the right prep over this next year (I'm taking my GRE soon, I've enrolled in a couple of ME courses as a non-degree seeking student, buying books on naval architecture) it may not work out how I want.

I don't want to crash and burn after finally becoming excited about my future prospects but I also don't want to continue doing something I am not wholly passionate about.

I just need to know if this is possible and if anyone here has any experience switching from ChemE to a mechanical discipline.

Thanks!
