Name ship after Irishman (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dubliner

'irishman' is the definition.
(Dubliner is an example)

'name ship after' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'dub' (as in dubbing someone with a particular name).
'ship' becomes 'liner' (as in an ocean liner).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'dub'+'liner'='DUBLINER'

(Other definitions for dubliner that I've seen before include "Irishman" , "European capitalist" , "Native of Ireland's capital" , "Capital dweller, as depicted by Joyce" , "Capital man" .)
