Lissa's central lesson: technology needs training

The conclusion makes training Lissa's primary lesson. The evidence comes from an accumulation of basic failures: a flagship change as the attack began, poor gunnery preparation, and manoeuvres crews did not understand well enough to execute. Theodore Roosevelt's emphasis on naval training reinforces the same point. The closing question asks which other battles show that technical capability depends on practised use. A navy turns technical potential into combat power through drill, experience, and command cohesion.
