At Gallipoli, ships and troops needed to arrive simultaneously so the naval operation would not warn defenders that a landing was coming. Confidence that ships could force the passage alone displaced that requirement. In this assessment, the naval attack came close to succeeding before concern about casualties prompted withdrawal. The criticism concerns the failure to apply established amphibious practice despite changes in technology.
