2d is an anagram of naval shipyard minus pansy and the defn is a sergeant
3d hollow is the defn. 3 letter tree ,(starts with a!) not sure how the next 3 letters fit the wordplay
11a defn cheese. French word for wine with "a sherry" inside
17a it device is the defn. 4 letters for quality + 3 letter word for flat(accomodation)
Good luck - I've finished but it was a mighty struggle!

Long shot but could 11a Cheese and Wine (including a Sherry) be vacherin? It's a cheese, it includes wine (v..in) and a sherry (a cheri..)?
Tenous, I know.

A thought on 3d.
The last three letters could be a liquid measure less N (reduced weight)

That's what i thought too but pint isn't really a weight so i dismissed it. Never mind we don't need it anyway!
