It was defeated and many of its ships were sunk in gales on the coasts of Scotland and Ireland.

After declining to attack the British fleet enroute to pick up an army, the Armada anchored at Calais. A night attack scattered the ships and led to a one-sided battle the following day. Most of the Armada could not reach friendly lands, and ships were battered by North Sea storms as they sought to circle westward for their return to Spain. As many as half of its ships were wrecked and many men were captured and killed in Ireland. Still more crewmen were lost to starvation and disease.

The Spanish Armada was beaten by the English at the Battle of Gravelines, and then it was battered by a powerful storm, in the year 1588. Unable to invade England, the remains of the Spanish Armada sailed home.
