In the Spanish system, the captain was not in sole command of his boat, rather he was a civillian pilot of the vessel, the military actions were under the control of an army officer. These unclear lines of command contributed to the failuer of the armada

No, Phillip II is not the same person as the Spanish Armada. The Spanish Armada is not even a person. It was a fleet of ships sent to England in 1588 to overthrow Elizabeth I and put Philip II in the throne.
I assume by "Spanish Armada" you mean Phillip II of Spain's unsuccessful attempt to invade England, which occurred in 1588. At the time, Queen Elizabeth I ruled England.
The King of Spain, Philip II, was a Catholic and began the naval war against England in 1588. He sent a huge war fleet to England for several reasons: A. To safeguard Spanish merchant ships and Spain's colonies against English raids; B. To depose the Protestant queen of England, Elizabeth I; and C. To restore Catholicism to England. The Spanish Armada met a huge storm that destroyed much of the King's fleet, and the English war ships ended the entire affair.
Spain, under Philip II, was the naval power of the sixteenth century with a fleet of battleships known as the Spanish Armada. After Elizabeth I joined in support with the Dutch insurrection in the Netherlands, Philip launched the Armada in an effort to conquer England. A series of mishaps ended in England's defeat of the Spanish Armada, ending Spain's naval dominance.
