How many of the Armada returned to Spain after the failed attack on England?

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 :).

Attacks by English sailors on Spanish ships bringing gold from the Americas angered King Philip II of Spain. Also, England-a Protestant country-had provided support for Protestants subjects who had rebelled against Catholic Spain.
