Not forward (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

aft

coy

(Other definitions for aft that I've seen before include "Towards the rear at sea" , "Near the rear (of ship)" , "Farther back on board" , "Astern" , "Towards the back on board" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Sunday, the L.A. Times Daily, The New York Times and the Newsday.com.
