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)

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”

“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
