Soldiers go ashore round Floridian city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orlando

'floridian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soldiers go ashore round' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 'OR' (Other Ranks).
'go ashore' becomes 'land' (I've seen this in another clue).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'or'+'land'+'o'='ORLANDO'

(Other definitions for orlando that I've seen before include "American themepark location" , "Shakespeare hero - book by Virginia Woolf" , "place in Florida" , "Florida location" , "Rosalind's lover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
