The Spanish Armada set sail with 150 great ships but they returned to Spain with 67. The beating of the Armada was a combination of both luck and skill but England's main weapon was their new and improved weapons. The Spanish had more planning but as the English had just designed a new set of ships, which were just as big as those in the Armada, but as they were lower and lighter due to the cheaper and less heavy cannons the ships could be manoeuvred better. This was a huge advantage. Before many of the ships were lost by Scotland (due to bad weather conditions), the English set fire to some of their ships and drove them into the Spanish.
