Give weapons to woman's vast fleets (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armadas

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

'vast fleets' is the definition.
'armadas' can be an answer for 'fleets' (armada is a kind of fleet). I'm not certain of the 'vast' bit.

'give weapons to woman's' is the wordplay.
'give weapons to' becomes 'arm' (I've seen this in another clue).
'woman's' becomes 'Adas' (woman's name).
'arm'+'adas'='ARMADAS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armadas that I've seen before include "task forces" , "Large fleet of ships" , "Fleets of warships" , "Large fleets, Spanish perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
