Foolish reliance on Queen Elizabeth? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean liner

'queen elizabeth?' is the definition.
(RMS Queen Elizabeth is an example)

'foolish reliance on' is the wordplay.
'foolish' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reliance'+'on'='relianceon'
'relianceon' anagrammed gives 'OCEAN LINER'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
