Wise Men peer for moving ship (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minesweeper

'ship' is the definition.
(minesweeper is a kind of ship)

'wise men peer for moving' is the wordplay.
'for moving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wise'+'men'+'peer'='wisemenpeer'
'wisemenpeer' anagrammed gives 'MINESWEEPER'.

(Other definitions for minesweeper that I've seen before include "Warship" , "In the main, clearer" , "Naval vessel" , "PC game" , "One removing bombs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
