Heresies of sea power . ay raise the blockade in face of the Englishfleet without first beating that fleet. The next night fireships were sent into the Spanishfleet and on the following morning, June 29 thebattle of Gravelines was fought. It lasted from ninetill six at night, at which time the Armada mauledand shattered bore away to the northwards, pursuedby the victorious English. Its exact loss of ships inthe battle was not, however, very great—only someseven ships being actually destroyed. The remainder, unable to return by the Straits of Dover essayed acourse home by the north of Scotland, where themajority of them perished by wreck and storm.
