A most famous conflict between protestants and catholics was the spanish armada.

Elizebeth led England into battle against catholic Spain and won the amada despite having less ships.

The Armada was defeated as much by the weather as the British navy.The British had small nimble ships that could get in between the larger Spanish galleons.The Brits sent in fire ships that caused havoc amongst the Spaniards.Also the Spanish were relying on Dutch forces to bolster their numbers.The final straw was the awful weather the Spanish had to deal with.They had to travel around trhe British Isles up the East coast around Scotland & into the Irish sea.They suffered more losses to the weather etc than to actual fighting.
