Pigs half-baked in admiral's boat (8)
I believe the answer is:
flagship
'admiral's boat' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'pigs half-baked' is the wordplay.
'baked' indicates an anagram.
'pigs'+'half'='pigshalf'
'pigshalf' anagrammed gives 'FLAGSHIP'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flagship that I've seen before include "Pre-eminent item" , "leading product" , "It carries the commander of the fleet" , "An organisation's most important thing" , "Most important part of a group" .)
