How does Rear Admiral Guépratte rate as a commander?

How should Rear Admiral Émile Guépratte be assessed?

Guépratte was a notably aggressive commander, though his drive could come at the expense of logistics.

Guépratte's aggressiveness is treated as a genuine strength rather than grounds for dismissing him as a poor commander. The qualification is that he could neglect logistics while pressing forward. That combination is especially relevant to the Dardanelles, where bold action depended on minesweeping, supply, repairs, and coordination. Aggression made Guépratte appealing as a commander, while neglect of logistics limited what it could achieve.
