Bad communication prevented the armada from picking up his troops.

Answer 81

Philip had a lot of resources. Elizabeth did not have a full-time army so she ordered every county to provide soldiers. About 20,000 were gathered, but unlike Phillip’s professional army, they had little training or equipment. The main armies were placed in the north of England in Kent and at Tilbury in Essex. There were just 34 battleships in the English Navy. Private individuals and trading companies were ordered to make their ships available and they quickly prepared for war. In this way about 200 ships were ready.

Answer 82

Hawkins spent years making improvements to the design of English ships. They were lighter, faster, and more manoeuvrable than the Spanish fleet, which had large slow galleons. English kept their distance from the Spanish, using light, accurate, long-range guns, called Culverins to attack while a safe distance. This was a good move as the Spanish couldn’t employ the usual naval tactics which relied on getting close to the enemy, and using short-range guns and grappling hooks to board enemy ships .

Answer 83

Elizabeth didn’t know where they would land so set up warning beacons along the coast of England. The armada left Lisbon in May 1588, but they quickly ran into storms, losing supplies and forcing ships back for repairs. English ships sighted the Armada off Cornwall and chased them up the English Channel. The Spanish kept their tight Crescent formation which made it hard to attack and only 3 Spanish ships were lost. The plan relied on close communication between Medina Sidonia at sea and Parma in the Netherlands, which was impossible. The Armada moored off Calais and waited for the Duke of Parma’s soldiers who were delayed. 28th July, the English sent eight fire ships towards the Spanish fleet. The crew panicked and cut their anchor ropes, flying out to sea. Some crashed into each other and others were dragged away by the wind. The Spanish Crescent formation was broken.

Answer 84

8 August 1588. English culverins were quickly reloaded, and battered the Spanish fleet by firing repeated broadsides. They aimed low, hitting the Spanish ships below the waterline. The English destroyed five Spanish ships. Two more ran aground. No English ships were damaged. 1000 Spanish were killed and 800 wounded. 50 English people had been killed. Elizabeth visited her troops at Tilbury and gave a famous speech. Strong winds blew the Spanish ships Northwards, and it was clear they could not get back to meet the Duke of Parma. The English chased them Northwards. The Spanish tried to sail round the north of Scotland. In stormy weather, many of the boats sank on Scottish and Irish coasts. Only 60 ships made it back to Spain.
