Navy woman has low rent (4)

I believe the answer is:

wren

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

'navy woman' is the definition.
'Wren' can be an answer for 'woman'. I am not certain of the 'navy' bit.

'low rent' is the wordplay.
'WREN' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wren that I've seen before include "Jenny?" , "serving girl" , "Member of the former Women's Royal Naval Service" , "English church architect, d. 1723" , "She served" .)
