Hurrah!
Routine navy retreats preserve order--larger ones might whistle over the bright blue sea? (6,5,9)

I am completely stuck on this one (but then I had noticed your capacity to be quite tricky, even if perhaps not quite as devious as Denis...!) I have been thinking of seabirds, missiles, sea shanties, shooting stars, and even oil rigs or wind turbines, all to no avail; to make things worse, I am not getting anywhere on the clue construction either, pondering possible synonym for routine + reversed synonym for navy containing synonym for/type of order...

I'll definitely take that as a compliment, Lex! You're right that “retreats” is a reversal indicator--but in this case it applies to “preserve” rather than “navy.” “order” is an anagram indicator, which is mean of me because it's difficult to tell where the anagram ends and the definition begins. Oh, and the synonym for “routine” is somewhat questionable, because of course it is...

I think that Modern Major Generals has to be the answer, but I am still a long way from justifying it! Well actually perhaps I can: mode (routine, or left/port side of moderate) + rn (navy) + maj (jam reversed) + or generals (larger ones anagrammed), but I am not familiar enough with HMS Pinafore to entirely understand the direct
