In the morning, boards as new vessel gets diplomatic post (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambassadorship

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

'diplomatic post' is the definition.
'ambassadorship' can be an answer for 'post' (ambassadorship is a kind of post). I am not sure about the 'diplomatic' bit.

'in the morning boards as new vessel' is the wordplay.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (short for ante meridiem - before noon).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'vessel' becomes 'ship' (ship is a kind of vessel).
'boards'+'as'='boardsas'
'boardsas' with letters rearranged gives 'bassador'.
'am'+'bassador'+'ship'='AMBASSADORSHIP'

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ambassadorship that I've seen is " Diplomat's job".)
