Armed vessel (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gunboat

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gunboat that I've seen before include "Vessel (involved in a type of diplomacy?)" , "Naval symbol of aggression" , "Not a bug (anag)" , "Small naval ship" , "Small military ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Guardian and The Independent.
