Gain wisdom breaking naval red line (4,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

live and learn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gain wisdom' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'breaking naval red line' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'naval'+'red'+'line'='navalredline'
'navalredline' anagrammed gives 'LIVE AND LEARN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for live and learn that I've seen before include "Profit from experience" , "Keep finding out new things" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
