I believe the answer is:

man-of-war

'armed sailing ship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for man-of-war that I've seen before include "Portuguese --, jellyfish" , "Old naval ship" , "A battleship - for a fighter?" , "Armed sailing ship" , "Fighting ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
