I heard that the Armada was defeated by Sir Walter Ooh-what-a-big-ship-I've-got Raleigh and his penis-ship!

I think you'll find that was a flaming penis-ship, missy!

My mistake ;)

Although the wiki page for the movie does claim that "Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake set their ships on fire, set their sails to steer into the heart of the fleet and jump overboard." Maybe he had an uncredited cameo? ;) Or else wiki is on crack, which is quite possible.

There is a scene with Raleigh and other captains consu;ting about the fireships, and someone else (who would, historically have been Drake) suggests them. He calls Ralleigh his old friend, I think. But he isn't in the credits and he isn't named in the movie, assuming it is supposed to be Drake...
