Fleet of Spanish ships (6)

I believe the answer is:

armada

(Other definitions for armada that I've seen before include "Spanish fleet sent in 1588 to escort an invasion of England" , "Fighting unit" , "Many ships" , "Fleet Drake defeated" , "Large Spanish fleet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
