Ship that travels vertically (6)

I believe the answer is:

rocket

(Other definitions for rocket that I've seen before include "Firework and salad ingredient" , "One's fired up" , "Salad leaves - move at great speed" , "Self-propelled firework or missile" , "In salad it's prepared" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
