Notes:

Modified Surf Limits (MSL) - the maximum Modified Surf Index for landing craft that landings should be attempted for routine operations.

The MSI is compared to the MSL of each landing craft or amphibious vehicle being considered for ship to shore operations.

If the MSI exceeds the MSL of the craft, the landing is not feasible without increasing the casualty rate.
