If the latter, can Very Slender Vessels survive in rough sea conditions?
If I approach from below, rather than by helicopter, what's the fastest way for the team to board? I imagine some kind of grappling hook system is the normal way to do it?

I'm thinking about fluffing out my 1950s military for a RP I've contemplating and the Centurion sure looks good.

I'm thinking about fluffing out my 1950s military for a RP I've contemplating and the Centurion sure looks good, but I was wondering if this thread might have some thoughts on using the Centurion?

If the words of actual Marines are to go by: Alot. I read a book awhile ago by a Marine Lt. who served in Anbar, who mentioned that despite all the training his platoon performed, it was worth nothing compared to having combat experience.

How you learn to do the task and the experience you have with the task is good so long as you're doing the task well. If you learn and practice in a wrong, or suboptimal way, that can be to your disadvantaged.
The parallels should be obvious.

Well is possible to achieve a high-level of professionalism in armies without much or any combat experience it is very difficult for these forces to innovate and they tend to lag behind more experienced force in tactics and technology. Canadian-Ukrainian military cooperation has from what I hear been quite informative for both sides; the Ukrainian army is experienced with contemporary Russian tactics but unprofessional, the Canadian army is highly professional but has no shooting war experience at all.

So I imagine what combat experience the Canadians gained in Afghanistan isn't all that applicable in an environment with opposing tanks and arty?

A hasty slit trench is always viable. The effort on a full on system may not be.
