The Spanish Armada, launched in 1588, faced significant financial and logistical challenges, costing Spain an estimated 10 million ducats. Despite this substantial investment, the Armada ultimately failed in its mission to invade England and assert Spanish dominance, primarily due to poor planning, adverse weather conditions, and fierce resistance from the English navy. The failure of the Armada marked a turning point in European naval power, significantly weakening Spain's influence.
Figures show that it cost around 6 million ducats, or near 4.8 billion in today's U.S. dollars.
It was not so much that the English fleet destroyed the Armada. The Spanish ships were caught in gales off the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, which wrecked most of the them on the rocky coasts.
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.
they ate too much chocolate cheesecake and was too full up... this made them sleepy....
because it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the English was much smaller than Spanish and had a less chance of winning but they still did
I'm not sure if this will help much but... The Spanish Armada lost to the English fleet in 1588.

Because, the English ships were much smaller and faster than the large, rather slow Spanish galleons.

Yes she did. Her English army technically won the Spanish Armada but they didn't really do much to them as it was the wind that defeated the Armada. The Armada had seen the English fire ships and had panicked and tried to flee but the wind had battered their ships and drowned most of the Spanish and any survivors that washed up in Scotland was killed.

"How much did it cost" = "Cuanto costó"
-130 ships in their fleet - formation of a crescent - defensive as larger ships were on the wings and centre- many cannons on the ships were not affective as they were at least 1/2 century old and had inefficient gun mountings
Not really known, however the San Salvador, a Spanish vessel defeated by Drake contained 55,000 gold ducats
