The 1588 victory by British naval forces (in fact, superior in numbers yet quite inferior in fire-power) over the "Spanish Armada" was a significant battle in European history. In that clash, the British forces involved were led by two outstanding naval officers, Lord Howard of Effingham and Sir Francis Drake.
