Orders yet to be broadcast to ship (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

destroyer

'ship' is the definition.
(I know that destroyer is a type of Warship)

'orders yet to be broadcast' is the wordplay.
'to be broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'orders'+'yet'='ordersyet'
'ordersyet' is an anagram of 'DESTROYER'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for destroyer that I've seen before include "Naval vessel" , "One scuppers" , "breaker?" , "Type of warship" , "Butcher'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
