City of Lima in one answer that's anagrammed (3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new orleans

'city' is the definition.
(New Orleans is an example)

'lima in one answer that's anagrammed' is the wordplay.
'lima' becomes 'L' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'that's anagrammed' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'answer'='oneanswer'
'oneanswer' anagrammed gives 'neworeans'.
'l' going within 'neworeans' is 'NEW ORLEANS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for new orleans that I've seen before include "port city in the south" , "US city" , "Devastated city" , "City of Louisiana" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
