I don't remember the details, unfortunately. They may have just planted (simulated) shaped charges directly on the hull, or they may have gone through some rigamarole with grappling hooks or something.
It occurs to me that you could probably climb the outside of a ship with sci-fi electromagnetic gloves/boots, but I've never heard of anyone actually making anything like that.
- RugnirViking 9y agoNormally warship hulls are degaussed to remove magnetic signature for mines. that might stymie any attempt to climb using magnets.

The freeboard of a modern destroyer is usually below 10M and much lower around the flight or water operations decks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fitzgerald#/media/File%3AValiant_Shield_2012_120912-N-TX154-258.jpg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fitzgerald#/media/File%3...
