The British navy were heavily outnumbered by the Spanish during their attempted invasion of England.
However, British ships were much more technologically advanced than the Spanish. The British fleet was faster, sleeker, tougher and had more cannons than the Spanish. The British also had much better cannonballs too, because they used a rare mineral called plumbago, which can be mined in England. The mineral creates perfectly round cannonballs, meaning they travel faster and therefore deal more damage.
Sir Francis Drake, one of the British naval commanders, also devised a cunning and smart strategic plan that allowed the English to overpower and flank the slower Spanish ships.
Despite being heavily outnumbered, the British won the battle. It was a classic example of the fact that numbers mean nothing in battle when the other side is better equipped and has better strategies.
