Invincible Battleship of Blood and Gold——sail Ship and Maritime War

Speaking of the Spanish Navy in history, perhaps the most common and direct impression left on future generations is the Armada that was defeated in the Battle of Graflin in 1588. The average military history fan's understanding of the Spanish Navy may only stop here (or the Spanish-American War that broke out in 1898). This book will attempt to focus on the history of the Spanish Navy in the Age of Sail after the Armada. This book may be the first book in China that provides an in-depth analysis of Spanish warships in the age of sail. The book covers the period from 1556 to 1700. Through a large number of paintings about the warships at that time and the data retained by Spain, it strives to show readers a full picture of the Spanish warships, and attempts to correct the prejudice and misunderstanding about the Spanish navy in this period that has long been circulated in the country. Including the reasons for the destruction of the Armada and the background of the rise of Spanish battleships.
