Best Answer

Warships with cannon, and against the anchored Spanish fleet at Calais, fireships. The major differences were that the English had longer range cannon, and could reload three to four times faster than could the Spanish. The latter's technique was to grapple and board, the English to stand off and bombard into submission.

The two types of weapons used by the British fleet against the Spanish Armada were cannons (although the British ships never managed to get close enough for these to be of much use) and fire ships (ships that were deliberately set on fire and sailed into the Spanish formation to break it up).
