Run out returned soldier and remove ship's accoutrements (5)

I believe the answer is:

unrig

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'and remove ship's accoutrements' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'run out returned soldier' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'soldier' becomes 'GI' (GI can mean a US soldier).
'gi' reversed gives 'ig'.
'run' is an anagram of 'unr'.
'unr'+'ig'='UNRIG'

Can you help me to learn more?
