In yet another supersession in the armed forces, the government on Saturday announced Eastern Naval Command chief Vice Admiral Karambir Singh will be the next Navy chief after Admiral Sunil Lanba retires on May 31.
Vice Admiral Singh, who will be the first helicopter pilot to become the Navy chief, will supersede Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) chief Vice Admiral Bimal Verma, who was commissioned into the force six months before him in January 1980.
