I don't know all the terminology,but Streamer fits 'flag'. Ship was Steamer, 'bearing right' = add an 'r", so Streamer.

It's what some term a "lift and separate" clue. "Flagship" needs to be read as "Flag ship", so the ship "steamer" has R in it to make the flag "streamer).

ChrisE, thanks for that - I could see perfectly how the clue worked, but I'm often not very good at explaining. My reasoning seems OK this time!

Thanks both Chrise and Malone
I spotted the parsing as soon as I posted the comment. Very clever.
