LXC So, saying that "win" is like saying that we have removed a candy from a baby: The purpose of the navy never was a naval battle against the English (1) and the number of ships capable of fighting and was really small: neither the capacity nor the marine artillery were designed for it, and all were aware of the issue, the power of the Navy was given by the resistance of their ships of war and the amazing discipline in the fleet, capable of maintaining impenetrable formaciión before the bad weather, and the disparity English harassment of boats, overloaded with troops and siege guns poddÃan only on land use. Demystifying this, we have an impressive battle in which the English, literally ran out of balntil now, Invicta
: 56000 words.
Stay tuned! :-)
Kallisti!
1) English goal was never a great naval battle, but unlike other, because the possibility of Thirds Farnese Flanders invading England was unsustainable: there was no force on the island able to resist such a move, so had to be stopped at all costs, and the Navy was a threat to consider, but the fact is that there was too great, since the Navy vessels had a draft too large to have been a danger to the fleet Nassau, that blocked Farnese in Nieuport and Dunkirk. Still, close to their supply bases, the goal ENGLis short and medium term was undoubtedly the destruction of Spain's naval capacity before it could start an invasion of England by land.
