Score for a seaman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rating

I believe this is a double definition.

'score' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for a seaman' is the second definition.
(British term for a naval enlisted man)

(Other definitions for rating that I've seen before include "Seaman; class" , "Lowly naval rank" , "rebuke?" , "Classification assigned to person as, say, for income" , "Classification; seaman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
