Will the real Connie stand up on ship (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

ocean liner

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

'ship' is the definition.
(ocean liner is a kind of ship)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for ocean liner that I've seen before include "Craft" , "Queen Mary, for example" , "Cruise ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
