MoD moves files for appointing R K Dhowan as new Navy Chief
The Defence Ministry has finally moved the file for appointment of a new Navy Chief and has recommended Vice Admiral R K Dhowan, the current Vice Chief, for the top post that has been lying vacant since February when D K Joshi resigned following a spate of accidents involving frontline warships.
Sources said the ministry has recommended Dhowan to take over the top post, superseding Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha who is the senior most officer of the Navy and would have by precedence been appointed as the Navy Chief.
However, the fact that a majority of accidents that led to the exit of Joshi in February took place in the Western Command under Sinha seems to have tilted the balance in the favour of Dhowan who is the second senior most officer in the Navy.
While the posting will have to be approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), Dhowan’s elevation to the top spot is likely to lead to the resignation of Sinha, who would have to face the tricky situation of serving under an officer who is junior to him in service. Sinha is due to retire in August.

Should be able to hit the ground running having been the Vice Chief.
off topic, I've always thought Sikhs in the navy looked very smart with the white dress uniform and white turbans.
