Developed reliance on ship (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean liner

'ship' is the definition.
(ocean liner is a kind of ship)

'developed reliance on' is the wordplay.
'developed' is an anagram indicator.
'reliance'+'on'='relianceon'
'relianceon' is an anagram of 'OCEAN LINER'.

(Other definitions for ocean liner that I've seen before include "Queen Mary, for example" , "Craft" , "Cruise ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
