The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh
I believe it was Sir Walter Raleigh.
Sir Walter Raleigh did not lead a ship in the Spanish Armada, as he was not directly involved in that conflict. The Spanish Armada, which took place in 1588, involved a large fleet sent by Spain against England. Raleigh was, however, an important figure during the Elizabethan era and participated in various naval expeditions, but he was not a commander in the Armada battle itself.
Sir Walter Raleigh defeated the Spanish
Sir Walter Raleigh played a significant role in the English response to the Spanish Armada in 1588. Although he was not directly involved in the naval engagements, his advocacy for naval reform and the promotion of privateering helped strengthen England's maritime capabilities. Additionally, Raleigh's efforts in securing resources and support for the English fleet contributed to the overall strategy against Spain, which ultimately led to the Armada's defeat. His involvement exemplified the broader commitment of English leaders to resist Spanish dominance.
Sir Walter Raleigh attacked Cadiz, probably the most important of Spanish ports.
Raleigh did not take part in the fight against the Spanish Armada. I'm wondering if you are getting confused with ship that Raleigh had built, The Ark, later the Ark Raleigh. Which he sold to Elizabeth I, (which he never got paid for), that became the most famous of English warship names, The Ark Royal.
Sir Walter Raleigh's father's name was Walter Raleigh.
