Trouble with British sailors below deck (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adorn

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

'deck' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'trouble with british sailors below' is the wordplay.
'trouble with' becomes 'ado' (both can mean bother or commotion. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'british sailors' becomes 'RN' (Royal Navy).
'below' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'ado'+'rn'='ADORN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adorn that I've seen before include "Beautify - decorate - enhance" , "Make more attractive" , "get dressed!" , "dress" , "Festoon" .)
