Admiral Christopher Columbus did not command the Spanish fleet in the traditional sense, as he was primarily known for his exploration voyages across the Atlantic. However, Spain’s naval fleet played a crucial role in supporting Columbus's expeditions, which ultimately led to the discovery of the Americas in 1492. Subsequent Spanish admirals, such as Admiral Cervera in the late 19th century, were involved in naval engagements that showcased the strength of the Spanish fleet. Overall, the Spanish fleet was pivotal in establishing and maintaining Spain's maritime empire during the Age of Exploration.
