Navy officer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admiral

'navy officer' is the definition.
(I know that admiral is a type of flag officer)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for admiral that I've seen before include "Naval officer of high rank" , "Highest naval rank" , "Red butterfly at sea?" , "Navy chief" , "[NELSON] perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
