Why does Operation C receive less attention?

Does frustration over the missed opportunity explain why Operation C is often overlooked?

Alex suggests that British service education emphasizes defeats, while Operation C sits between defeat and victory as an engagement that nearly happened.

Operation C offers no completed carrier battle around which to organize a conventional account. Alex links its relative neglect to a British habit of teaching military lessons through defeats. He also identifies frustration that a force prepared for night fighting came close to attacking a stronger opponent, then abandoned another attempt after discovering the enemy's strength.
