Bottom's part of a ship (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ass

'bottom's' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a ship' is the wordplay.
'ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'a'+'ss'='ASS'

'part of' is the link.

(Other definitions for ass that I've seen before include "Stupid fellow" , "'The law is a - - - a idiot' (Mr Bumble)" , "Quadruped; fool" , "Buffoon" , "Turkey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
