From such shamelessly piratical origins arose the system of 'privateering' or privatized naval warfare. Faced with a direct threat from Spain - culminating in but not end with the Armada - Elizabeth I took the eminently sensible decision to license what was happening anyway. Robbing the Spaniard thus became a matter of strategy. In the period of recurrent war with Spain from 1585 to 1604, between 100 and 200 ships a year set off to harass Spanish vessels in the Caribbean and the value of prize money brought back amounted to at least £200,000 a year. Source : Empire, by Niall Ferguson.

These raids, financed by the Crown or high nobility, were initially immensely profitable, until the overhaul of Spain's naval and intelligence systems led to a series of costly failures.

Around the turn of the century however, Anglo–Spanish relations began to improve, resulting in the peace of 1605, ending most privateering actions and leading to a neglect of the Royal Navy. Source : [link]

The United Kingdom was originally created by a union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland (and later joined by Ireland) Source :[link]

YAAAAY! Spain's right! He's called "Boss" for a reason!!!!

Plus not to mention that Spain adopted a very successful convoy system to prevent further piracy and they engaged in piracy themselevs making off with a large booty in the Bahamas and their Dunkirks pirates also harassed the English!
