Armada having some aswell, the English had one
main tactic and what they would do was fill up the
boats with things that could catch alight such as
wood, staw etc and they would set light to it and then
jump off the boat sending the remaining of the boat
into the other and it would crash and cause the boat
to be destoyed and the people on the boat to possibly
die.
