Various men are trained for the sea (13)

I believe the answer is:

mediterranean

'the sea' is the definition.
(Mediterranean is an example)

'various men are trained' is the wordplay.
'various' indicates anagramming the letters.
'men'+'are'+'trained'='menaretrained'
'menaretrained' with letters rearranged gives 'MEDITERRANEAN'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for mediterranean that I've seen before include "Sea south of Europe" , "Inland sea" , "Sea north of Africa" , "Sea linking three continents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
