Rescue ship (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deliver

I believe this is a double definition.

'rescue' is the first definition.
(I know that rescue can be written as deliver)

'ship' is the second definition.
(to deliver something using a ship)

(Other definitions for deliver that I've seen before include "Free; supply" , "Set free, provide" , "Dispatch" , "Bring letter or rescue" , "bear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
