Unless Rich changed things since alpha, nobles stacked with a ship's
captain may perform independent actions while the ship sails around.
Note that this does *not* work during land movement.  Your mileage
may vary, but I doubt it. ;>)

I just checked back and at least up to turn 110 I had a noble practice
combat while he sailed all over (Marcel-Anton [2676] was the captain) :

"Whoo-oop!  I'm the old original iron-jawed, brass-mounted, copper-bellied
corpse-maker from the wilds of Arkansaw!  Look at me!  I'm the man they call
Sudden Death and General Desolation!  Sired by a hurricane, dam'd by an
earthquake, half-brother to the cholera, nearly related to the small pox on
my mother's side!  Look at me!  I take nineteen alligators and a bar'l of
whisky for breakfast when I'm in robust health, and a bushel of rattlesnakes
and a dead body when I'm ailing!  I split the everlasting rocks with my glance,
and I squench the thunder when I speak!  Whoo-oop!  Stand back and give me room
according to my strength!  Blood's my natural drink, and the wails of the dying
is music to my ear!  Cast your eye on me, gentlemen!--and lay low and hold your
breath, for I'm 'bout to turn myself loose!" - Mark Twain
