Fighting weight of H.M.S. Belfast? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cruiser
'fighting weight' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cruiser that I've seen before include "Warship; leisure craft" , "Speedy warship" , "Warship - pleasure boat - boxing weight" , "Large warship" , "A fast warship, sounds leisurely" .)
