Why the Spanish Armada does not meet the epic-blunder test

Does the Spanish Armada qualify as an epic naval blunder?

Not quite; it was badly conceived and managed, but Spain absorbed the loss and rebuilt its navy.

The answer applies the video's opening definition instead of using 'blunder' as a synonym for any famous defeat. Spain lost a fleet, but it did not permanently lose the ability to field naval power and soon rebuilt. The judgment would be harsher if the army had landed only to be stranded and captured. Strategic consequences, rather than notoriety alone, determine the category.
