Ship — large one — with name “Queen Elizabeth” (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liner

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

'ship large' is the definition.
'liner' can be an answer for 'ship' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'large' bit.

'one with name queen elizabeth' is the wordplay.
'one with' says to put letters next to each other.
'name' becomes 'lin' (**).
'queen elizabeth' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'lin' put next to 'er' is 'LINER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "eg QE2" , "Craft" , "Large passenger vessel" , "Pleasure cruiser" , "Passenger ship - bin bag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
