Turned laker into crude transport (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
oil tanker
'crude transport' is the definition.
'oil tanker' can be an answer for 'transport' (oil tanker is a kind of transport). I'm unsure of the 'crude' bit.
'turned laker into' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates an anagram.
'laker'+'into'='lakerinto'
'lakerinto' anagrammed gives 'OIL-TANKER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oil tanker that I've seen before include "Ship carrying fuel" , "Ship carrying "black gold"" , "On which crude" , "Fuel transporter" , "craft" .)
