List of ships of the Spanish Armada
Introduction The Spanish Armada was the fleet that attempted to escort an army from Flanders as a part the Habsburg Spanish invasion of England in 1588, was divided into ten "squadrons" (''escuadras'') The twenty galleons in the Squadrons of Portugal and of Castile, together with one more galleon in the Squadron of Andalucia and the four galleasses from Naples, constituted the only purpose-built warships (apart from the four galleys, which proved ineffective in the Atlantic waters and soon departed for safety in French ports); the rest of the Armada comprised armed merchantmen (mostly ''naos''/carracks) and various ancillary vessels including ''urcas'' (storeships, termed "hulks"), zabras and pataches, pinnaces, and (not included in the formal count) caravels. The division into squadrons was for administrative purposes only; upon sailing, the Armada could not keep to a formal order, and most ships sailed independently from the rest of their squadron. Each squadron was led by a flagship (''capitana'') and a "vice-flagship" (''almiranta''). This list is compiled by a survey drawn up by Medina Sidonia on the Armada's departure from Lisbon on 9 May 1588 and sent to Felipe II; it was then published and quickly became available to the English. The numbers of sailors and soldiers mentioned below are as given in the same survey and thus also relate to this date.
List of Squadron Commanders * Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, commander of the Squadron of Portugal and of the whole enterprise* Diego Flores de Valdés, commander of the Squadron of Castile* Hugo de Moncada i Gralla, commander of the Squadron of Galleasses of Naples* Juan Martínez de Recalde, commander of the Squadron of Biscay* Pedro de Valdés, commander of the Squadron of Andalusia* Miguel de Oquendo, commander of the Squadron of Guipuzcoa* Martín de Bertendona, commander of the Squadron of Levantines* Juan Gómez de Medina, commander of the Squadron of Hulks or ''Urcas''* Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza, commander of the Squadron of Communication (he died during the voyage to England, and was succeeded by Agustín de Ojeda)* Diego de Medrano, commander of the Squadron of Galleys of PortugalThese commanders did not necessarily sail in the ''capitana'' (flagship) of the squadron of which they were technically in command. For example, Juan Martínez de Recalde, as second-in-command of the whole enterprise, was aboard Medina Sidonia's flagship ''São Martinho'' (or ''San Martin'' in Spanish), which also carried the Duke's principal staff officers - Diego Flores de Valdés (chief advisor on naval matters) and  (the general in charge of the fleet's military contingent). In view of this, in the event of the loss of the fleet flagship with its commanders aboard, it was determined by Felipe II that command of the enterprise would then devolve upon Alonso Martínez de Leiva, who commanded the ''Rata Santa María Encoronada'' of the Squadron of Levantines.
Ships of the Squadrons{{sfn|Hutchinson|2013|pp=202,276-288}} ===Squadron of Portugal===Twelve ships comprising ten galleons and two ''zabras'' (total seamen 1,293; total soldiers 3,330);* ''São Martinho'' (48 guns). Known in Spanish as ''San Martin'' and in English as ''Saint Martin''. Flagship of the commander-in-chief (Fleet ''Capitana''), the Duke of Medina Sidonia and Maestre Francisco Arias de Bobadilla, the senior army officer. (''São Martinho'' had an overall length of about  with a beam of about . She carried the aforementioned 48 heavy guns on two enclosed gun decks, plus multiple smaller weapons). * ''São João'' (''de Portugal''). (50 guns). Vice-flagship (Fleet ''Almiranta'').

The Tuscan-built galleon ''San Francisco'' (''São Francisco'' in Portuguese) was appropriated, renamed and integrated within the squadron of Portuguese galleons. Older Portuguese galleons like the ''São Lucas'' and the ''São Rafael'' had already been withdrawn from service; one was still in the squadron at Lisbon, but was too small and too rotted to accompany the Squadron), and she was substituted by the ''Florencia''.NameTypeTonsBuilt atYear builtNo of gunsCrewTroopsFate ''São Martinho''(Sp.

Each had 28 oars on each side, but relied on a square-rigged sailing arrangement installed for the 1588 campaign, as they were slow under oars alone. Their armament consisted on six forward-firing heavy cannon in the bows and four similar guns rear-firing in the stern; they also had 20 smaller guns (4- to 12-pounders) mounted in the fore and stern castles, and 20 swivel-mounted light guns on the raised catwalks above the rowers' benches. * ''San Lorenzo'' (50 guns). Grounded at Calais after the Battle of Gravelines. Captured by the French after a hard fight with the English that cost Don Hugo de Moncada his life. * ''Zúñiga'' (50 guns). Forced to take refuge at Le Havre after suffering rudder damage while trying to return home. It is unclear whether ''Zúñiga'' ever returned home. It was last reported silted up at Le Havre after an unsuccessful effort to sail home. * ''Girona'' (50 guns). Wrecked 30 October 1588 at Lacada Point, County Antrim, Ireland. There may have been as many as 1,295 casualties due to the ''Girona'' carrying survivors from ''Santa Maria Rata Encoronada'' and ''Duquesa Santa Ana''. * ''Napolitana'' (50 guns).NameNo of GunsBuilt atYear builtTonsCrewOarsmenSoldiersFate ''San Lorenzo''50 Naples 1578380124300248 Grounded at Calais after the Battle of Gravelines.

Ship Types Source===Galleon===* Pronunciation:  . Etymology: Old Spanish galeón, from Middle French galion, from Old French galie. Date: 1529.Galleon: A heavy square-rigged sailing ship of the 16th to early 18th centuries used for war or commerce especially by the Spanish. They were the fastest ships built during the 16th century. Galleons were large, multi-decked sailing ships first used as armed cargo carriers. The full body of the fleet took two days to leave port. A typical Spanish galleon was 100–150 feet in length and 40–50 feet wide.===Galley===* Pronunciation:  . Etymology: Middle English galeie, from Anglo-French galie, galee, ultimately from Middle Greek galea. Date: 13th century.Galley: A ship or boat propelled solely or chiefly by oars:# a long low ship used for war and trading especially in the Mediterranean Sea from the Middle Ages to the 19th century;# also : galleass : a warship of classical antiquity — compare bireme, trireme;# a large open boat (as a gig) formerly used in England.===Galleass===* Pronunciation:  . Etymology: Middle French galeasse, from Old French galie galley. Date: 1544.Galleass: A large fast galley used especially as a warship by Mediterranean countries in the 16th and 17th centuries and having both sails and oars but usually propelled chiefly by rowing.===Urca===* "The ''urcas'', supply hulks, had largely been requisitioned when they sailed into Spanish ports, regardless of their owners' rights and wishes. Baltic made ''urcas'' with two lateen mizzen masts were unable to sail close to the wind. They were also no good for fitting fighting 'castles' to. Some ''urcas'' came from Hanseatic ports. In all there were twenty three ''urcas'' in the fleet. "===Zabra===* Zabras were small or midsized two-masted sailing ships used off the coasts of Spain and Portugal to carry goods by sea from the 13th century until the mid-16th century; they were well-armed to defend themselves against pirates and privateers.===Patache===* A patache is a type of sailing vessel with two masts, very light and shallow, a sort of cross between a brig and a schooner, which originally was a warship, being intended for surveillance and inspection of the coasts and ports.===Pinaza===* The pinaza (pinnace) is a light boat, propelled by oars or sails, carried aboard merchant and war vessels to serve as a tender.===Caravel===* Latin-rigged Caravel (Lateen Caravel), a highly manoeuvrable sailing ship. The lateen sails gave her speed and the capacity for sailing to windward (beating). Caravels were used especially by the Portuguese for the oceanic exploration voyages during the 15th and 16th centuries.===Square-rigged caravel (Round caravel)===* the Square-rigged caravel is another type of caravel which is a combination of the carrack and the caravel, distinguished from both ships by its combined sails, with four or more masts, usually three with lateen rigged sails and the fore-mast with two square sails, and by its hull design which is narrower and longer (with a sterncastle, forecastle and a galleon design). It is doubtful that the caravels of Portugal in the Spanish Armada - with the assistance mission, support, and transport of provisions and military items - had the size and the heavy weaponry of the other traditional Portuguese large ''Caravelas de Armada'' (Square-rigged caravels).===Nao (Carrack)===* A three- or four-masted ocean-going sailing ships that are developed from the 14th Century to the 17th Century.
