Drake "singed the King of Spain's beard" by sailing a fleet into Cadiz, one of Spain's main ports, and occupied the harbour for three days, capturing six ships and destroying 31 others as well as a large quantity of stores. The attack delayed the Spanish invasion by a year.

The Spanish port of Cadiz. What he actually did was sailed into the harbour and virtually wiped out the Spanish fleet by fire.

Not sure but he did sail from Plymouth most of the time so maybe it's there.
