Wish for a romantic pairing between, in modern parlance (4)

I believe the answer is:

ship

(Other definitions for ship that I've seen before include "Convey (goods); a vessel" , "eg QE2" , "In a word, final indication of rank or position" , "See 18" , "Transport as on sea-going vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
