In March 1453 while Comstantinople was under siege by Mehmet II Doge of Venice Francesco Foscari gave orders for a Venetian fleet to gather and help the besieged Byzantine Emperor by bringing supplies and troops...
In OTL the Doge thought that the mighty walls of Constantinople would have held the Ottomans back and he didnt gave the order to leave until 7 May (which was too late... Constantinople fell 3 weeks later while the fleet was still in south Aegean)
WI the Venetian fleet had arrived in time destroyed the Ottoman fleet in Golden Horn resupplied Constantinople and reinforcing the Byzantine Army with Venetians? Any thoughts?
