The Spanish Armada consisted of 130 ships, 2,500 guns, and more than 30,000 men.
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.

During the Spanish Armada in 1588, England had approximately 200 ships, equipped with around 1,500 to 2,000 cannons. The exact number of guns varied among ships, as some were heavily armed while others were less so. The English fleet's firepower was a crucial factor in their eventual victory over the Spanish Armada.
the English set many ships on fire. then the weather took a bad turn. a violent storm pounded and sank much of the badly damaged spanish armada. the surviving ships fled home to Spain. the English celebrated an important victory.
