Ship's company sounded cocky? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crew

I believe this is a double definition.

'ship's company' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sounded cocky?' is the second definition.
(ie made a cock's crow)

(Other definitions for crew that I've seen before include "group of sportsmen" , "was triumphant" , "emulated cocks" , "Sailor complement of ship" , "Was exultant" .)
