It was so well planned because the king of Spain had worked hard to get a very in depth plan that would be completely brilliant.
He had other people like friends, family, who were helping the Spanish king to figure out the perfect plan.
He wouldn't have been a good weatherman! The day they came a storm was inbound to where they were invading and messed up there entire plan.
This is very lucky for Elizabeth I, and also the people of Britain.
Britain may not have been how we know it if there was no storm.

The English believed the Spanish Armada was defeated because the English had better supplies and sailors and so on.

What were the spanish armada's mistakes?
well its hard to determine the key mistake the spanish did because it was a series of mistakes and unfortunate events that led to the destruction of the armada. But one key mistake that the spanish did was they cut the ropes of the anchors. due to the terrible strom in the English channel the admiral said to drop anchor to stay in formation but the English sent out fire ships. in panic the spanish tryed to pull the anchors up but it was to slow so they cut the ropes, as a result they broke formation and the fire ships and storm basically destroyed the entire fleet. another factor that the spanish made was the ships themselves. they were huge galleons which have terrible stearing and control, because of this they had very hard time controling the ship in calm codition not to mention a storm. they thought the bigger the ships the better, unfortunatly that's not the case u need to find a blanace and the british eventually mastered that.
