Normal designed speed is 24 knots to save wear and tear of critical parts of the machinery. Maximum speed is maximum speed, friend, qualifiers be damned. The Colorados and Nelsons couldn't do 27 knots if they blew up their own boilers. Basically no ships sailed at full steam except in combat situations, anyway.
