Ships made fast (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleet

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'ships' is the first definition.
(eg a naval fleet)

'fast' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'made' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fleet that I've seen before include "Fast kind of armada?" , "task force" , "Navy - quick" , "Rapid in movement" , "Naval force or collection of buses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
