Sir Francis Drake is credited with sinking around 30 Spanish ships during his naval campaigns against Spain in the late 16th century. His most notable actions occurred during the Anglo-Spanish War, particularly in raids on Spanish ports and during the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Drake's attacks significantly disrupted Spanish maritime operations and trade.

What did the English ships look like in the spanish armada?

With out a doubt the English ships were better made and they were lighter and moved through the water quicker. Spanish ships may have been more elaborate but they were more like clunkers and they did not move as easily through the water. Spanish ships were also easier to sink and they did not have as many weapons and the British ships.
