Spain sent 130 ships against England, only 67survived. For England, nothing lost other than 8 fire ships... i think that was wrong because the storm destroyed lots of ships also the fire ships and on the way to Spain on the retreat they were getting scurvy and crashing on rocks theres also a thought that scotish people atacked them. So it's 17 ships that came back yes Philip was in wrath :).

What 16th century European upheaval had a profound impact upon England's settlement of the new world?
I'm not an expert on European history of that time, but in 1588 the Spanish sent a mighty Armada to attack and conquer England. At this same time John White was trying to organise a relief voyage for his colonists on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. His efforts were delayed until 1590 and one of the reasons may well have been that in anticipation of the Spanish attack all shipping in England was retained for the defence of England. The colony failed. So did the Armada.
