Comments on the clue
1.I really like this clue but I can’t quite justify ‘suspicious’ as an anagram indicator, so it misses out on top marks.
2.Good surface but not sure if 'drowned' = 'submarine'
3.Sorry, couldn’t fathom the definition
4.Good surface . Not convinced that 'suspicious' indicates an anagram.
