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.</p><p> </p></div>


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
Tier X Dutch Cruiser ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' offers a play style like no other Tier X cruiser. She possesses battlecruiser-like armor and main battery guns while having light cruiser concealment. Like all other Dutch cruisers she carries the special airstrike armament.
* Low Detectability.
* High AA defense efficiency.


<h4>Attributes</h4>
===Cons===
* Long fire-extinguishing time; takes heavy damage from flooding.
* No torpedo armament.
* No Anti-Submarine airstrikes.


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has an above average armor scheme, featuring a 25mm upper bow with a 40mm “icebreaker” lower bow. This makes it nearly impossible to citadel her through her bow. Her stern plating is fully 25mm easily overmatchable by enemy battleships. However she has excellent 40mm side plating, more than enough to cause all enemy battleship shells to ricochet off when angled. While kiting captains should look to either dodge enemy battleship shells or to ricochet them with this 40mm plate (instead of the 25 mm stern). Despite having an above-waterline citadel her 25mm turtleback makes her citadel relatively resistant to shots from enemy cruisers. However, this does not protect her citadel against battleship AP shells. Finally, captains should beware that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' burns for 60 seconds rather than 30 seconds, making her vulnerable to fires.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s guns are nearly identical to that of Tier VII ''[[Scharnhorst]]'', sharing her gun caliber and shell velocity while having minor improvements in penetration, salvo damage, and dispersion. Despite an improved 15 second reload, her DPM is still lackluster, ranking among the worst out of all Tier X cruisers. To make up for this, her guns have high shell velocity and great alpha compared to her contemporaries. The AP shells in particular pack a surprisingly hard punch when used against enemy cruisers and battleships. They have enough penetration to citadel enemy cruisers at all ranges and even certain enemy battleships at mid to close range.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s airstrikes reload every 100 seconds, with a maximum of two charges. They are best used against targets which are large and immobile, whose movements are easier to predict (such as battleships or large cruisers). In addition, due to the pattern of how the bombs fall, more bombs will hit on targets that are bow or stern in to an airstrike rather than broadside to it. These high damaging bombs can penetrate up to 37mm of armor. Used in tandem with main battery HE, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be a great fire starter, using the bombs to force a use of a damage control party and following up with fires due to main battery H.E shells.

</div>


With a 12.7 second rudder shift and a 790m turning circle, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s maneuverability is average compared to other Tier X cruisers. The same cannot be said for her AA – she has one of the best anti-aircraft suites at Tier X, with outstanding mid-range continuous damage. As such, her AA menaces enemy aircraft, often destroying entire squadrons before their attack run starts.

For a large cruiser, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is surprisingly stealthy. She can use this stealth to reach aggressive positions wherever necessary which she can then hold with her excellent armor.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has access to standard Damage Control Party, Hydroacoustic Search, Defensive AA fire, and a special low-downtime repair party with a cooldown of just 40 seconds. This short downtime mitigates her 60 second burn time, allowing her to hold aggressive positions.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is unique at tier X in that it combines supercruiser style guns and armor with light cruiser levels of concealment and maneuverability. This gives her a great deal of flexibility, allowing her to play both as an opportunistic ambush cruiser who can reach aggressive but effective positions undetected, and as a kiting cruiser, using her H.E shells in conjunction with her airstrikes to terrorize enemy ships who push in to her. As such, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' excels on the defensive, either holding key choke points or slowing down an enemy push while kiting away as the situation deems necessary.

===History===
====Design====
The ship was to be part of a risk strategy to force an assailant to go to great efforts in a fight against the Dutch East Indies. Although previously a submarine-core was envisioned, a resurgence for a more conventional fleet took place and a new two core risk strategy was developed. The second core would consist of large cruisers that could tie up the enemies' battleships. The most effective size for a cruiser to this need was found to be 25&nbsp;000 tons. Although Ferwerda seems to have preferred a ship of 16&nbsp;000 tons.
The Dutch were experienced shipbuilders, but they had not constructed any large warship recently and were unsure about their experience with modern capital-grade armor schemes. They had hoped for the French to share information on ''Dunkerque'', but ultimately turned to the Germans in hope they would share information about ''Scharnhorst''. However, because the ship was in breach of treaties the Germans were very reluctant to share anything about the ship - instead, they provided the Dutch with separate design studies. This caused the Dutch to expand the space for their power plant; after which they went to Italy for more information. Although they improved their underwater protection and learned more about ''Scharnhorst'' there than they did from the Germans, they left with few new insights on their propulsion system.
Ultimately, the ship was never laid down due to the German invasion of the Netherlands.


===In-game historical inaccuracies===
* ''Gouden Leeuw'' was the name of a ''Prins van Oranje''-class minelayer that was in service from 1932 to 1942. No warship in the Royal Netherlands Navy has inherited the name since.
* The in-game length of 227,4m is shorter than any of the Dutch naval designs.
* Instead of using the ship's designed gun parameters, Wargaming just copied ''Scharnhorst's'' guns over and gave it a bit more penetration.
* Bow armor should be 30mms and decrease to 15mms, not be 40mms.
* Turtleback should be 30mms, not 25mms.
* The AA guns should have been twin mounts, not singles.
* Despite having a hangar for aircraft, ''Gouden Leeuw'' is missing a catapult and aircraft.
* Visually, the ship seems to be missing her original bridge as well as some radio equipment.
* The funnels and superstructure were not designed to be as phallic-looking as they are on ''Gouden Leeuw''.
* Original AA fire directors are missing.
* Secondaries should be a variant of 12cm No. 8, meaning their Muzzle Velocity should be 800m/s, not 850. And caliber length should be /45, not /50.
* The ship should have had 180&nbsp;000 SHP, not 156&nbsp;000.
* Top speed should be 34kts up to 35kts, not 33,5kts.

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.
