the spanish left with 130 boats and came back with 60 boats!
because they didn't have planes
Armada or flotilla.
The English navy defeated the Spanish Armada because their ships were smaller and lighter than Spain's heavy galleons. The English's navy darted around the Armada firing cannon after cannon until the Spanish finnally gave up and headed home. On their way home, however, a massive storm hit them and less than half of the fleet made it home alive.
22 Spanish and Portugese Galleons and 108 armed merchard vessels
She was in Enlgand and not on any of the boats
An armada is typically an enormous gathering of boats, however, it tends to be any gathering of vessels like planes or vehicles that work as a unit. A maritime armada is the biggest arrangement of warships.
There is absolutely no link, other then the fact that they both involved boats.
A group of boats is a fleet.
The weather was a part of luck. It destroyed a lot of the spanish ships around the Scottish border that they were forced to go around because of the strong winds, and because they had cut their anchors in panic from the fire boats English sent at them.
They brung Hell boats to seperate the other boats and Hell boats also looked like or were on fire.
