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.
One of the Spanish Armada ships that crashed in Ireland was called the Santa María de Vison.
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.
Very few ships returned to Spain. Most of those that were not destroyed or captured in battle sailed on around Britain and many more were lost off the coast of Scotland in bad weather. The survivors (about 67 out of about 151) reached Spain during the last three months of 1588, four to six months after they had sailed.
