Vessel whose cargo is targeted by soldiers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
eggcup
'vessel' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggcup that I've seen before include "Breakfast placed here" , "what held a problem for curate?" , "Bearer of breakfast (with soldiers)" , "Holder of an oval thing" .)
