There's nothing about "Queen Elizabeth" being a ship (5)
I believe the answer is:
liner
'a ship' is the definition.
(as in an ocean liner)
'there's nothing about queen elizabeth' is the wordplay.
'there's nothing' becomes 'nil' (nil means a score of zero in football).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'queen elizabeth' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'nil' in reverse letter order is 'lin'.
'lin'+'er'='LINER'
'being' is the link.
(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "Cosmetic; fine paintbrush" , "cruise vessel" , "Large passenger-ship" , "that's put in bin" , "LP's inner sleeve" .)
