One clue to finish!
21 ac. Ship's flag etc etc (7)
I have letters T-I - E-E
Looks like trimene, but unsure why, or maybe that is not correct. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Is this a cryptic crossword, I don't know it?
Are there really two 'etc's?

Thanks very much. Trireme seems to be answer, with r for rook, and rm for marine. Cheers

21a Ship's flag being pierced by rook disheartened marine.

TRIREME = ship

tire = flag (pierced by rook - insert r)

me = disheartened m(arin)e.
