Can anyone tell me the main differences between 16th century naval warfare and 17th century naval warfare?

Specifically regarding the British navy, the tactics they used and how they differed over the centuries please. Other European nations will also be appreciated.

As a side question, could you then please compare these European nations naval tactics to an Asian countries naval tactics?
