Adam's in a sharp confrontation with the fleet (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
spanish armada
'the fleet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'adam's in a sharp confrontation' is the wordplay.
'adam's in a sharp' can be anagrammed to 'SPANISH ARMADA'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spanish armada that I've seen before include "1588 invasion force" , "Fleet sent against England in 1588" , "Famous naval fleet" , "Fleet that sailed from Lisbon in May fifteen eighty eight" , "1588 invasion fleet" .)
