Wet suits ships? (8)
I believe the answer is:
steamers
This clue could be a double definition.
'wet suits' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'ships?' is the second definition.
(steamer is a kind of ship)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steamers that I've seen before include "Old ships on sea terms" , "Transport" .)
