Ships blue after redesign issues (9)

I believe the answer is:

publishes

'issues' is the definition.
(I know this)

'ships blue after redesign' is the wordplay.
'after redesign' indicates an anagram.
'ships'+'blue'='shipsblue'
'shipsblue' is an anagram of 'PUBLISHES'.

(Another definition for publishes that I've seen is " Issues".)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
