Rearward, to a rear admiral (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aft

(Other definitions for aft that I've seen before include "At the back of a ship" , "Towards the stern of a boat" , "Toward the stern of a boat" , "Towards the rear at sea" , "To the rear on board" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
