	Spanish Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish Navy (in Spanish, Armada Española) is the maritime arm of the Spanish Military.
		A "Secretaría" (Ministry) of the Army and Navy was established in 1714.
		Throughout its history the Spanish navy has achieved numerous goals, from the transportation of gold and silver from the colonies in America, to the maintenance of the Spanish Empire in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.

	Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A navy is the branch of a country's military forces principally designated for naval warfare and amphibious warfare (marines) namely lake or ocean borne combat operations and related functions.
		The repulsion of the Spanish Armada (1588) by the Anglo-Dutch fleets revolutionised naval warfare by the success of a guns only strategy and caused a major overhaul of the Spanish navy, partly along English lines, which resulted in even greater dominance by the Spanish.
		Navy ships normally operate with a group, which may be a small squadron of comparable ships, or a larger naval fleet of various specialized ships.

	Spanish Armada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The matter of England's disruption (along with France) of the annual bullion-run by the Spanish treasure fleet from Peru and Mexico to the port of Seville in Spain was of critical importance to Philip.

		Spanish morale was damaged and, more importantly, the now scattered Spanish ships were now too far to leeward of Calais in the rising south-westerly wind to recover their position.

	Spanish-American War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish government did not have the financial resources or the personnel to deal with these revolts and resorted to forcibly emptying the countryside and the filling of the cities with concentration camps (in Cuba) to separate the rebels from their rural base of support.
		The Spanish forces at Guantánamo were so isolated by Marines and Cuban forces that they did not know that Santiago was under siege, and their forces in the northern part of the province could not break through Cuban lines.
		Estimates of Spanish losses to the insurgents in the Philippines were not found; however the war is described as bloody [3], such as in "The Siege of Baler"[4].
