I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concerning a seaman' is the definition.
'about' can be an answer for 'concerning' (about can mean concerning or relating to). I'm not sure about the 'a seaman' bit.

'to wreck a u-boat' is the wordplay.
'to wreck' is an anagram indicator.
'u'+'boat'='uboat'
'uboat' with letters rearranged gives 'ABOUT'.

'out' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
