Crossword Genius

Light transport such as tank, for example (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landship

'tank for example' is the definition.
(landship can mean a military tank)

'light transport' is the wordplay.
'light' becomes 'land' (light can mean to settle or land).
'transport' becomes 'ship' (ship is a kind of transport).
'land'+'ship'='LANDSHIP'

'such as' is the link.
