Craft about to change (1-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

u-boat

'craft' is the definition.
(U-boat is an example)

'about to change' is the wordplay.
'to change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' anagrammed gives 'U-BOAT'.

(Other definitions for u-boat that I've seen before include "Submersible warship of WWII" , "Sea vessel" , "German wartime submarine" , "Submersible warship armed with torpedoes" , "Take pool exercise" .)

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