Proposals for underwater operations (11)
I believe the answer is:
submissions
'proposals' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'underwater operations' is the wordplay.
'underwater' becomes 'sub' (as in submarine).
'operations' becomes 'missions' (mission is a kind of operation).
'sub'+'missions'='SUBMISSIONS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
