Parma's army never boarded the ships of the Armarda. They were not fully equiped and there was insufficient ferry transport. The army was reduced by disease to only 16,000 men and at least another six days was required to put the embarkation plan into action. The Dutch were assisting in the blockade of the coast. Eventually the English Fireships caused the Spanish to scatter leaving the army behind

Could a single modern frigate defeat the Spanish armada?
Yes and without ever coming within range of the armada. Although it would probably take a while...... And they would have to come in RANGE of the armada, or else they couldn't hit it. A missile-equipped frigate would not have to come in SIGHT of the armada, however.
What was the name of the powerful Spanish fleet the British defeat during this time?
The Spanish Armada was a fleet of 130 ships that sailed from A Coruña in August 1588 as an escort to troops from Flanders for a planned invasion England to depose Queen Elizabeth and prevent English interference in the Spanish Netherlands and (hopefully) predation by English privateers. Unfortunately for the Armada, bad choices by leaders, aggressive, effective attacks by the British and Dutch, bad weather, and general bad fortune prevented them from ever linking up with the army they were to escort and more than a third of the fleet was destroyed before they could make it back to Spain.

Why was the Spanish armada given such high expectations?
There were high expectations for the Spanish Armada because it was one of the biggest war fleets ever assembled, and plans were that it would be joined from the southern Netherlands by a second Spanish invasion fleet under the Duke of Parma, carrying a sizable army of battle-hardened veterans. Moreover, King Philip of Spain rather optimistically expected the Catholics in England to rise and support him against the Protestant Queen Elisabeth I as soon as the army would land. Truth be told, the Armada's commander - the Duke of Medina-Sidonia - had studied the invasion plans drawn up in Madrid beforehand, and wrote to the King about his grave misgivings and of the many organizational and tactical flaws of the plan. But the courtiers refused to pass on his comments to the King. Medina-Sidonia also had orders to leave the actual command of the fleet to a Spanish admiral appointed to the task - he was to only lead from the invasion on, for which he was well-qualified. Unfortunately, this admiral was overly cautious, deliberately missing an easy opportunity to destroy the whole English fleet in harbour, for no other reason than the fact that the King had not mentioned this harbor in his orders. In the end, the English fleet harassed the Armada to the extent that it could not sail directly to its destined landing area, and a Dutch fleet blockaded the harbor where the Spanish auxiliary fleet was waiting to sail. In the meantime, a storm developed that scattered the Spanish fleet, blowing most of the ships to Scotland and beyond.
