Along the last of Drake’s voyages, he stole gold and many riches from the Spanish. This led him to accept the Queens demands in 1585 to sail to the Spanish ports. There he helped defeat the Spanish Armada. In 1589, the year after defeating the Armada, Drake and Sir John Norreys were given three tasks: seek out and destroy the remaining ships, support the rebels in Lisbon, Portugal against King Philip II (then king of Spain and Portugal), and take the Azores if possible. Drake and Norreys destroyed a few ships in the harbor of a Coruña in Spain but lost more than 12,000 lives and 20 ships. This delayed Drake, and he was forced to stop hunting the rest of the surviving ships and head on to Lisbon.

Drake's seafaring career continued into his mid-fifties. In 1595, he failed to conquer the port of Las Palmas, and following a disastrous campaign against Spanish America, where he suffered a number of defeats. Unsuccessfully, he attacked San Juan de Puerto Rico, eventually losing the Battle of San Juan.

The Spanish gunners from El Morro Castle shot a cannonball through the cabin of Drake's flagship, but he survived. He attempted to attack San Juan again, but a few weeks later, in January 1596, he died (age of about 56) of dysentery, a common disease in the tropics at the time, while anchored off the coast of Portobello, Panama, where some Spanish treasure ships had sought shelter. Following his death, the English fleet withdrew.

Before dying, he asked to be dressed in his full armor. He was buried at sea in a sealed lead-lined coffin, near Portobello, a few miles off the coastline. It is supposed that his final resting place is near the wrecks of two British ships, the Elizabeth and the Delight, scuttled in Portobello Bay. Divers continue to search for the coffin.
