Fleet sent by Philip II of Spain against England in 1588 (6)

I believe the answer is:

armada

(Other definitions for armada that I've seen before include "A great fleet, ships or planes" , "1588 sea battle" , "sea-borne unit" , "Old Spanish fleet" , "Large number of ships (Spanish?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
