Dar es Salaam sadly lacking sales fleet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armada

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fleet' is the definition.
(armada is a kind of fleet)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armada that I've seen before include "lot of craft" , "Large number of ships (Spanish?)" , "Large Spanish fleet" , "force of the sea" , "A great fleet - Spain had one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
