Accounts about naval stations (7)
I believe the answer is:
reports
'accounts' is the definition.
(I know this)
'about naval stations' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'naval stations' becomes 'ports' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'ports'='REPORTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reports that I've seen before include "that follow the shooting?" , "Gives account" , "Documents describing findings" , "Statements" , "Writes about, booms" .)
