Only 36 feet of water? Her superstructure must've been a navigational hazard. How big was she?

She was the size of a large cruiser...but she had big guns that could outrange cruiser guns. Its why she faught 3 cruisers to a draw.

Go here: http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/h_class.htm and scroll down a bit - you'll see pictures of what she looked like after being scuttled.
