Performance
Littorio's design speed was 29 kn (33 mph; 54 km/h) at full-load. During full speed trials, she reached an average speed of 31.293 kn (36.011 mph; 57.955 km/h) on a displacement of 41,782 t (41,122 long tons). Although speed tests at overloaded power levels were not performed, it was determined that the ship had a theoretical top speed of 32.2 kn (37.1 mph; 59.6 km/h).
Range as designed was as follows:
- 4,580 mi (7,370 km; 3,980 nmi) at 16 kn (30 km/h; 18 mph)
- 3,920 mi (6,310 km; 3,410 nmi) at 20 kn (37 km/h; 23 mph)
- 1,770 mi (2,850 km; 1,540 nmi) at 30 kn (56 km/h; 35 mph)
During service, Littorio's actual range was calculated to be:
- 4,870 mi (7,840 km; 4,230 nmi) at 14 kn (26 km/h; 16 mph)
- 4,050 mi (6,520 km; 3,520 nmi) at 20 kn (37 km/h; 23 mph)
