Historic ship – a naval overhead? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hood
'historic ship' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a naval overhead?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'overhead?' could be 'o' (head letter of 'over') and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hod' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hood that I've seen before include "academic garment" , "Part of subfusc" , "See 13" , "Outlaw and gangster" , "Bronx district" .)
