HMS Brittanic
Typo. It should read HMS Britannic. HMS = His/Her Majesty's Ship SS = Steam Ship I also found HMHS which stands for His/Her Majesty's Hospital Ship.
RMS! Not HMS! It was the RMS Titanic, it was not owned by the Royal Navy or the State, therefore is not HMS. MV is another common Prefix, Motor Vessel.

I really want to solve one of these one day, but normally I either miss them completely or someone guessed already, and NOW I'm out of time so I'll just post what I got: Pinch outside - cold - poles - polar ship record - log - map - navigation exists - is to point to - direct ancient fire - (from previous) polar-is - Polaris -.. direction? I'm not confident that this is correct, at all, but there it is. ;P
OK, you are on the right lines with part of your solution. Keep going, you may get there first today!

So, in the english wikipedia it is called RMS, in german one HMS. I don't mind. But we both agree the answer was wrong. :^)

"Pinch outside ship record exists to point to ancient fire" (9) Quite hard, but it is a Thursday, so good luck.

I figured out where the PH came from, but how do you get TON from 'to point to'?

Whenever a crossword clue uses point, it's pretty much guaranteed that the point refers to a compass point. So, TON is TO North.
