What if all American standard battleships were replaced by Littorio-class ships with matching infrastructure?
Short answerThe ships would fight well but their short range would impose a severe oiler burden in the Atlantic and especially the Pacific.
NotesThe hypothetical replacement gives the United States Littorio-class battleships and changes shore infrastructure to accommodate them. It still leaves an endurance problem because the Italian ships were designed for Mediterranean operations. Powerful guns and long gun range do not provide long cruising range. Operating them across the Pacific and Atlantic would increase demand for Neosho- and Cimarron-type oilers. The suggestion that each battleship might need its own oiler exaggerates the burden to make that supply problem clear.
