∙ 14y agoElizabeth did not defeat the armada as such, she made ships on fire go zooming into the armada and break the crescent moon formation, so they could attack without being blown to smitherines, because the English ships were better. The weather in the end shattered small ships and made the larger ships run into one another, some floated off in the coast, but the English won anyway!
