The immediate casualty and damage totals were modest, yet the Ottoman withdrawal left the Greek fleet dominant at sea. At Lemnos the Ottomans made a second attempt to break the Dardanelles blockade and recover their Aegean position. That defeat left one Greek sailor wounded but killed 41 Ottoman personnel, wounded 104, and damaged two battleships and an ironclad. Greek crews entered the second battle willing to act aggressively, while Ottoman commanders carried the anxiety of their earlier defeat. The second failure confirmed that the Ottoman fleet could not regain control of the Aegean.
