about 140 ships sailed out to the English channel and it is said that only about 20 returned to Spain ...
All of them, except for 8 fireships used at the battle of Gravelines
58
The Spanish Armada consisted of 130 ships, 2,500 guns, and more than 30,000 men.
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.
34 warships and 163 armed merchant vessels
Of the original 26,000, 10,000 men returned to Spain.

the English set many ships on fire. then the weather took a bad turn. a violent storm pounded and sank much of the badly damaged spanish armada. the surviving ships fled home to Spain. the English celebrated an important victory.
-130 ships in their fleet - formation of a crescent - defensive as larger ships were on the wings and centre- many cannons on the ships were not affective as they were at least 1/2 century old and had inefficient gun mountings
