It is the latest in a series of disasters to hit the navy, and comes just months after a naval ship sank off Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, leaving one worker dead and four missing.
Eighteen sailors were also killed in August 2013 when INS Sindhurakshak burst into flames in Mumbai harbour.
A naval aircraft crashed off the western Indian coast leaving two pilots missing, the navy said on Wednesday.
