quick fix

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

'temporary solution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fleet facing difficulty' is the wordplay.
'fleet facing' becomes 'quick' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'difficulty' becomes 'fix' (fix is a kind of difficulty).
'quick'+'fix'='QUICK-FIX'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quick fix that I've seen before include "temporary solution" , "no lasting cure" , "Expedient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
