Fisher's Baltic plan and his support for Gallipoli

Did Jackie Fisher support Gallipoli only because it was the least bad of Churchill's schemes?

Broadly, but Fisher also favored a highly risky Baltic offensive of his own, so he was not a purely cautious critic of peripheral operations.

A viewer cites Andrew Lambert's argument that Admiral Jackie Fisher accepted Gallipoli as the least bad of Churchill's proposals and that Greek intervention might have made it viable. The answer broadly accepts the framing but does not cast Fisher as the consistently cautious alternative. Fisher was committed to his own aggressive concept for sending the Royal Navy through the Danish straits into the Baltic. The plan is characterized as an attempt to replay Copenhagen on a much larger First World War scale. Disagreement over Gallipoli existed inside a wider culture of high-risk peripheral strategies.
