When the Royal Navy was still doing boarding actions they used cutlasses, roughly 36" (slightly wider than a door, which was why Midshipmen were told not to run around with them in their mouths). Able to cut & thrust. Or Boarding Dirks (Long Daggers).
Why weren't they tempted to take the captured ships as war prizes to aid in the later fights? At the very least they should have placed scuttling charges on the power core to prevent it from being recaptured and used against them. Maybe pick up some rifles, sidearms, and grenades for the inevitable just in case scenario? They wouldn't have weighed them down much.
In close quarters like that they wouldn't use long swords that needed to be swung, they would use short swords like the gladius.
You could still use long swords, it'd just be mostly thrusts.
@@johnathan651 more like pushes.
Athenian - Why do Spartan's use such short swords?
Spartan - So that we may be closer to the enemy

@@chrissouthgate4554 but they didn't use long swords.
It actually makes sense to use melee inside a spaceship, to prevent collateral damage, aka hull breaches.
