Stuffing knocked out in four attacks at sea, move on quickly (4-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fast-track

'move on quickly' is the definition.
(eg being fast-tracked through a queue)

'stuffing knocked out in four attacks at sea' is the wordplay.
'stuffing knocked out in' suggests removing the centre (letters stuffed into the word are removed).
'at sea' indicates anagramming the letters.
'four' with its middle taken out is 'fr'.
'fr'+'attacks'='frattacks'
'frattacks' is an anagram of 'FAST-TRACK'.
