Gouden Leeuw — Netherlands Tech Tree Tier X Cruiser.

The ship is a version of the Project 1047 battlecruiser incorporating engineering solutions from the late 1940s. The initial design was created in 1939 and 1940 with the goal of developing a heavy combat unit for operations in the Dutch East Indies, where conflict with Japan was anticipated. The main battery was to comprise German 11.14-inch (283 mm) guns, but the ship project was never completed due to the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940.

Pros

• Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
• Low Detectability.
• High AA defense efficiency.

Cons

• Long fire-extinguishing time; takes heavy damage from flooding.
• No torpedo armament.
• No Anti-Submarine airstrikes.
