Yes. By the lore of the anime/movie (and probably the universe as a whole), a lost ship girl becomes an abyssal, and that abyssal can be redeamed back into her ship girl. We see this twice in the movie.

It's safe to say that the existence of more than one of the same girl is just a game mechanic, and not actually how it works in the KanColle universe.
