Garda's staggered to find gun running vessel? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asgard

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

'gun running vessel?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'garda's staggered' is the wordplay.
'staggered' indicates an anagram.
'gardas' anagrammed gives 'ASGARD'.

'to find' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asgard that I've seen before include "mythological region" , "heavenly dwelling-place" , "Famous Irish yacht from the old Norse heaven" , "Abode of Norse gods" , "Home of the Norse gods" .)
