For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.'Kernel' looks possible. I haven't yet looked at this crossword, but I'm thinking of RN = Royal Navy, ie sailors and 'keel' is an old word for a boat. Just as RN is central to the word 'kernel', so the sailors in it are central to the working of a boat. 'Kernel', of course, means 'centre. Is that it? I'll tell you for sure tomorrow if no-one else does so meantime, when I've completed the crossword. Cheers
