I think a power cat around 30 ft with diesels is about right but even

Excellent deduction. :-)

This whole idea started off as a one-boat publicity stunt for a
particular brand of power cat, but others are apparently eager to join
in.

By the end of May, there's probably a 65%-70% chance of at least

I wouldn't fly on a plane with a 100% chance of arriving safely.

Landing craft, LST's, LPD, LHA's there are safer ways to travel.

But, with planes you need to get out of them before they land. The bad
stuff happens on landing.
