During the Spanish Armada's ill-fated expedition in 1588, approximately 30 ships were shipwrecked due to a combination of naval battles with English forces and severe weather conditions. The Armada, intended to invade England, ultimately lost around half of its fleet, with many ships either sunk or stranded along the coasts of Scotland and Ireland. The disastrous campaign significantly weakened Spain's naval dominance and marked a turning point in European maritime power.
