What Norway needed from amphibious forces

The answer reduces the landing-craft lesson to more lift, faster operations, better supporting fire, and firmer command control.

Question

How did landing-craft tactics and equipment improve, and could better amphibious capacity have saved Norway?

Short answer

Later forces had more and faster landing craft with stronger support, while the Norway campaign also needed much better command control.

Notes

Later landing craft became faster and more numerous, with more supporting firepower. For Norway specifically, better commander control was as important as the craft themselves. The exchange keeps material capacity and command arrangements together rather than treating amphibious failure as a single equipment problem.
