These days, Shire's troops did nothing but occasionally take the fleet out for a spin, sometimes heading towards the Dardanelles Strait to gaze distantly at the battlefield smoke and listen to the gunfire and cannon sounds from the shore before turning back.
In fact, the fleet was training, soldiers continued to use landing craft on the ship, sometimes navigating to an open no-man's land to let soldiers climb ropes to board the ship, while destroyers simulated searching submarines and arriving at the corresponding location to drop "bombs."
The British did not know what they were busy with and only thought Shire was putting on a show.
Then Vice Admiral Robek started to become restless.
The situation of the landing in the strait grew tenser, and the situation gradually began to turn unfavorable toward the British Army.
