ST · OCK · RO · CKE · TS · SP · AR · ING · LY · SAP · PED · NO · AH · AD · MI · RA · LS · GUT · TER · ING

ADMIRALS is built by combining the tiles AD · MI · RA · LS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ADMIRALS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
