Escort warship (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corvette

'escort warship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for corvette that I've seen before include "Small warship for escorting larger vessels" , "Small naval escort vessel" , "Warship smaller than a frigate" , "Fighting ship" , "Light warship" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
