This was an alternative to the normal boarding actions. In some ways it
is
there to exploit a limit to the defending ships design.

A boarding action would be met by a defending force. So the attackers
would
need to be able to match that force.
But land a handful of troops onto the exterior of the ships hull and the
defenders
cannot bring their full weight of defences to bear.
They would have to suit up and go hunting across the exterior of the
ship.
