The Spanish Armada set sail with 150 great ships but they returned to Spain with 67. The beating of the Armada was a combination of both luck and skill but England's main weapon was their new and improved weapons. The Spanish had more planning but as the English had just designed a new set of ships, which were just as big as those in the Armada, but as they were lower and lighter due to the cheaper and less heavy cannons the ships could be manoeuvred better. This was a huge advantage. Before many of the ships were lost by Scotland (due to bad weather conditions), the English set fire to some of their ships and drove them into the Spanish.

The Spanish Armada refers to the fleet of ships that was sent by Spain in 1588 to invade England.

The Spanish Armada was the Spanish navy, not a specific battle.

the Spanish armada was defended by England setting fire to a ghost ship and running it into the Spanish that caught and due to them being in neat rows the fire quickly spread which reduced the Spanish fleet greatly and therefore could not fight on.

The American forces defeated the Spanish in the Philippines. The American Forces were commanded by one Commodore George Dewey.

The English fleet, under Drake, destroyed the Spanish Armada, with a lot of help from our typically British stormy weather in the English Channel and the North Sea. It was this stormy weather that scattered the Spanish fleet, and forced them to take the long way round the top of Scotland, before they could head south with many Spanish ships floundering or being blown onto the rocks.
