I always like how they've got to the answer once I see what it is, but have very little idea beforehand.

TUMBLING - very clever clue, that.

I've got 4 words that fit, but none of them seem to have a naval connection.

I with Kwilter on this one.  I was on the torpedo and submarine line.

No wonder I couldn't get it - I was thinking water-borne armed force rather than stomach!

Tsk!  Standards of spelling these days.......
