The whole clue is the definition (& lit or double definition).
How the clue works
A neat double definition. Succeeding gives AFTER in the sense of coming after or following, while a more stern position? plays on nautical language — 'aft' means towards the stern, so being 'more aft' whimsically becomes AFTER.
