As news of this made headlines, Twitter was abuzz with people commending his decision to quit.

Causing severe embarrassment to the navy, the accidents — 11 since the INS Sindhurakshak tragedy — have taken operational warships out of active duty and knocked some high-flying officers out of the race for top ranks.



The defence ministry accepted Joshi’s resignation and the vice-admiral will be the acting chief of the navy till a new head is appointed.
