Such a ship may be ageing so badly (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sea-going

'such a ship' is the definition.
(sea-going can describe a ship)

'ageing so badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'ageing'+'so'='ageingso'
'ageingso' with letters rearranged gives 'SEA-GOING'.

'may be' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
