Command of the Armada was given to Alonso de Guzman El Bueno, 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, a soldier with no naval experience.
The Armada invasion plan was flawed from the start in the unworkably precise timing and communication that it demanded between Medina Sidonia and Parma, as well as in the near-absence of deep-water ports accessible to Philip on the northwestern European coastline for a fleet of the Armada's size and composition.
Although the Gravelines engagement itself was largely an indecisive stalemate, the English defenders were availed of some breathing room as Medina Sidonia, unaware of the scarcity of English ammunition, soon directed the Armada east and north of the rendezvous zone for Parma in the English Channel.

Sidonia ensured that fleet discipline was strictly enforced.
Nothing can be said against Sidonia's personal courage, or his administrative ability, but he lacked both the professional knowledge and the dash to make a great commander.

The Spanish Armada (la felicissima armada or "most fortunate fleet") was a fleet which the Habsburg King Philip II of Spain used as part of an attempt to invade England in 1588.
The Spanish regarded Hawkins' actions as illegal smuggling to their colonies in the West Indies, leading them to surprise and sink several ships in a slaving expedition led by Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake at San Juan de Ulua, near Veracruz, Mexico, in 1568.
San Juan de Ulua served as the diplomatic incident that soured the Anglo-Spanish relations, which had hitherto been amicable, embittering Drake and Hawkins so much that they and other English sailors took up privateering as a way to break a perceived Spanish stranglehold on Atlantic trade.
