Legends_Cruiser_Icon2.png Gouden Leeuw — Netherlands • Legendary Tier • 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.

Gouden Leeuw was released as the final of chain bundles during the Thirst for Combat update, which took place from March 3rd to April 7th, 2025.
