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

'partition' is the definition.
(bulkhead is a kind of partition)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for bulkhead that I've seen before include "Upright partition in ship or aircraft" , "Separating wall in ship" , "Separator in ship" , "Interior partition in a ship or aircraft" , "piece of partitioning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
