The English had very good tactics.

On the coast people were told to look out night and day to watch for the Spanish and as soon as they caught a glimpse of them to light a beacon. Then along the coast others would see the beacon and light their beacon and so on...

The news got around fast (using the beacons) and soon the soldiers and navy new.

The Spanish had a very clever formation of a crescent moon. The English did had another trick up their sleeve. And they filled a couple of boats full of things that burn (wood,straw etc) they then set the boat on fire and sent the boat into the Spanish formation. Soon all the Spanish fled and the wind blew t5hem to Holland.

The battle ended in the North Sea. England were victorious.

Hope this helped.
