what are the ropes running down the side of the ship used for?

It is no a rope but demagnitizing chain link I guess
And what are they for? So the ship doesn't stick to the support used during its construction when it's launched?
Demagnetized the ship, usually to reduce the magnetic signature, for ships probably for anti sea mine measures.
For subs, it's usually reduces the chances to be detected by magnetic anomaly detection by anti sub planes.

not ropes rather Demagnetization process
when new metal is built on something like warships it contains magnetic dipoles
Demagnetization is used to remove residual magnetic fields
magnetic signals from hulls are reduced
its a very common practice and is used also after long deployments
Degaussing. Demagnetizes the ship and makes your electronic equipment work right with less interference. Done prior to fitting the ship.
