Technically, under specific circumstances, yes.
A civilian visitor on board a Royal Navy ship is under the authority of the Captain of that ship, and must accept his/ her authority in all matters pertaining to the safety, security, and good conduct of the ship and its crew. In time of war, any civilian on board a RN vessel (eg a contractor carrying out repairs) will be subject to naval discipline.
Naval, and other military officers, would also have authority over citizens if Martial Law was declared - only likely in event of a major catastrophe/ national emergency of epic scale.
