Best Answer

The ships weren't superior to those of the Spanish armada. Instead supposedly there was an English wind which made the ship sail faster and the English used that to their advantage. They ended up setting their ships on fire and sent them ramming into the Spanish ships. Due to the wind, by the time the Spanish realized what was happening, it was to late to turn around.
