A fleet of 130 ships was sent to England in May 1588. The commander was Duke of Medina Sidonia. The fleet was delayed by a storm. Then, in the middle of July it was attacked by British long-range guns and it anchored off Calais. The formation was wrecked by English fireships. The battered fleet tried to escape but strong winds drove them into the North Sea, and they sailed back to spain travelling round Scotland and Ireland. Approximately half the original fleet (called Armada) arrived at a port in Spain.
