In fact, during this naval operation, the Great Tang Empire also identified many issues within its forces: Despite the absence of submarine threats and minimal aerial threats, the Great Tang Empire Navy's support for the landing operations was still subpar.
The Tang Navy's carrier-based aircraft were delayed in providing support for ground combat, and their assistance was indeed very limited.
First of all, the Great Tang Empire Navy lacked a sufficient number of battleships and cruiser artillery ships. The scarcity of large-caliber naval guns inherently weakened firepower support for landing operations.
Across the entire Great Tang Empire fleet, only two battleships and about a dozen cruisers could be assembled, and even then, these warships could not all be deployed at once for supporting the landing operations.
