Overview.
I think the Aurora kit is a Landing Craft, Vehicle, LCV which preceded the LCVP and used essentially the same hull.  The LCV was 36 feet long and this model is 36 scale feet long in HO 1/87 scale, which is the nominal scale of the vehicles and figures in the Aurora Anzio set.

While I have seen landing craft in real life, I never sailed on one.
Thanks for reading Mr4.
