Being that she was almost 12% longer than an Iowa class battleship (990' vs 887') with roughly the same beam (101' vs 108') and had 17% more horspower (248,000 vs 212,000), I'm not surprised.

Still, that's pretty impressive. She probably would have been pretty safe had she been built for the war. Same top speed as the fastest setting on a G7a.
