Vessel or military vehicle on a road (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tankard

'vessel' is the definition.
(tankard is a kind of vessel)

'military vehicle on a road' is the wordplay.
'military vehicle' becomes 'tank' (tank is a kind of military vehicle).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'tank'+'a'+'rd'='TANKARD'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tankard that I've seen before include "something to drink from" , "Drinking vessel with a handle" , "A drinking mug with handle" , "Drank at (anag)" , "One-handled beer mug" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
