Mythological vessel's commandeered by token vessel (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
cargo ship
'vessel' is the definition.
(cargo ship is a kind of vessel)
'mythological vessel's commandeered by token' is the wordplay.
'mythological vessel's' becomes 'Argo's' (ship in Greek myth).
'commandeered by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (commandeer can mean to take over).
'token' becomes 'chip' (I've seen this before).
'argos' placed within 'chip' is 'CARGO SHIP'.
(Another definition for cargo ship that I've seen is " vessel".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
