Sailor's rank (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rating

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sailor's' is the first definition.
(British term for a naval enlisted man)

'rank' is the second definition.
(rating is a kind of rank)

(Other definitions for rating that I've seen before include "Grading or ranking" , "Angry reprimand for non-commissioned sailor?" , "Non-commissioned sailor in the Royal Navy" , "Grade or assessment" , "Classification or NCO sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
