The Gallipoli plan warned the enemy that an attack was coming and exposed the likely weak points before the main force arrived. The naval commander then faced serious ship losses and withdrew, although continued pressure might have broken through. Better minesweeping support was an obvious missing requirement. Another possibility was to use old pre-dreadnoughts, protected with buoyant material, to force a path through the mine barrier. Britain continued to develop amphibious warfare after the campaign despite these failures.
