Admiral DK Joshi stepped down from the helm of the Indian Navy hours after a submarine accident off the coast of Mumbai, in the backdrop of growing concerns about a series of mishaps involving warships.

The accident involving the Russian kilo-class submarine INS Sindhuratna Wednesday morning, in which seven sailors have been injured and two are missing, is the second major mishap involving this class of submarines in less than a year. In August last year, 18 sailors had been killed in an accident that sank INS Sindhurakshak. There have been a series of other, relatively minor, incidents involving India's warships in recent months.
