-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the lead ship of the Leander-class light cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s, mainly designed for commerce protection based on experience with the [[HMS York|York]]-class heavy cruisers. The HMNZS Leander was laid down on 8th September 1930, commissioned on 24th March 1933, and assigned to the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy. In 1941, the New Zealand Division became the Royal New Zealand Navy and Leander's prefix changed from HMS to HMNZS. Leander initially served in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, where she sunk Italian and Vichy France merchantmen. On 22nd April 1941, Leander took part in search of German commerce raider Pinguin which was later sunk by HMS Cornwall. Between June and September 1941, Leander was transferred to the Mediterranean before returning to the Pacific. On 13th July 1943, Leander, together with US Navy Brooklyn-class light cruisers USS St. Louis, USS Wichita, and a group of ten destroyers, took part in the Battle of Kolombangara. At 01:00, radar contact was made with Japanese light cruiser Jintsuu and five destroyers. In the ensuing battle, Jintsuu was sunk and all three Allied cruisers were hit by Japanese Long Lance torpedoes. Leander was struck with single torpedo in the boiler room, and the damage caused was so extensive that she spent rest of the war being repaired. After repairs in Auckland, she went to Boston for a refit, and returned to the Royal Navy on 27th August 1945. Leander took part in the Corfu Channel Incident in 1946. She was decommissioned in February 1948 and sold for scrap in 1950.

-Introduced in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]], Leander is one of the first British light cruisers that captains will come across. Unlike the previous [[HMS Arethusa|Arethusa]]-class, Leander features thicker main armour belt around the machinery, that is 76 mm thick instead of the 57 mm at Arethusa. The elevators and turrets are both protected by all-around 25 mm thick armour. The bridge features 12 mm anti-fragmentation armour, providing at least some degree of protection from HE shells. However, all the boiler rooms can be disabled with a single hit due to them not being separated. Magazines are quite deep under the waterline, making the ship quite protected from fatal explosion if hit. The Leander is also equipped with two quadruple torpedo launchers on each side of the hull, however while the torpedoes have a good speed of 74 km/h, they have only 4.57 km range, making their use very situational.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the lead ship of Leander-class light cruisers built for the Royal Navy in early 1930s. The ships were named after mythical figures and three out of eight built were sold to Royal Australian Navy. The Leander-class was built mainly for commerce protection based on the experience with York-class heavy cruisers. As built the Leander was armed with eight 152 mm BL Mk XXIII guns in four twin turrets, secondary armament was made of four 102 mm QF Mk V guns which were later replaced by four twin 102 mm QF Mk XVI guns. Anti-aircraft protection was supplemented by three quadruple mounts of Vickers 12.7 mm machine guns. Two quadruple 530 mm torpedo launchers. The ship was also equipped with aircraft catapult for two aircraft. The HMNZS Leander was laid down on 8th September 1930 and comissioned on 24th March 1933. The first five ships of the class also featured boiler rooms arranged together into single funnel, making the ship vulnerable to being disabled by gunfire if hit. Leander was assigned to the New Zealand Divison of the Royal Navy. In 1937 Leander conducted aerial survey of Pitcairn Islands while en route to New Zealand from England. In 1941, the New Zealand Division became Royal New Zealand Navy and Leanders prefix changed from HMS to HMNZS. Leander initially served in the Pacific and Indian ocean, where she sunk Italian and Vichy France merchantmen in course of a month. On 22nd April 1941, Leander took part in search of German commerce raider Pinguin which was later sunk by HMS Cornwall. Between June and September 1941, Leander was transferred into Mediterranean before returning back into Pacific.

-The HMNZS Leander is all-around armour upgrade over [[HMS Arethusa]]. This includes thicker belt armour (now 3 in), thicker armour over the magazines (3.5 in), and added anti-fragmentation armour around the bridge area of the superstructure. This added armour increases the already decent survivability against both destroyers and now to some extent cruisers. Captains of the Leander should take advantage of this added armour while knowing that it still cannot take hits from heavy cruisers, doing so will result in the loss of the ship extremely quickly. The overall survivability is increased as the HMNZS Leader boasts a total of 767 crewmen which allows more hits to be taken without suffering a fatal amount of crew loss. When all the additional armour and crew is taken into account, it allows captains of this ship to act much more aggressively than with previous British cruisers.

-The '''HMNZS Leander (75)''' is a member of the Leander-class light cruiser family. Serving with the New Zealand Navy during World War II, she was formerly known as HMS Leander. Launched at Devonport on September 24, 1931, the HMNZS Leander was the lead ship of her class. On March 24, 1933, she received her commission as HMS Leander in the British Navy. She was a member of the British Navy's New Zealand Division, serving alongside HMS Achilles. She was renamed as HMNZS Leander in September 1941, when the New Zealand Division changed its name to the New Zealand Navy. On its way from Europe to New Zealand in August 1937, the HMS Leander conducted an aerial survey of Henderson, Oeno, and Ducie, and on each island, a British flag was planted and an inscription proclaiming "This island belongs to H.B.M. King George VI" was nailed up. When the New Zealand Division was renamed the New Zealand Navy in September 1941, she was renamed HMNZS Leander. During World War II, the HMNZS Leander initially served in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The HMNZS Leander was transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet in June 1941 and participated in the Syria-Lebanon Campaign against the Vichy French. In September 1941, the HMNZS Leander returned to the Pacific Ocean after serving in the Mediterranean. However, during the subsequent Battle of Kolombangara, the HMNZS Leander was hit by a torpedo and was severely damaged, forcing her to abandon the war. She was first repaired in Auckland before being completely rebuilt in Boston. On August 27, 1945, she was returned to the British Navy. She was involved in the Corfu Channel Incident in 1946.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]], the HMNZS Leander is very similar to the [[HMS Arethusa]], its predecessor, but has some upgrades over the former. First off, compared to the former, it has an all-around armour upgrade that greatly boosts its survival in battles. Second, it has an additional gun turret, which can provide the HMNZS Leander with some deadly firepower with good accuracy. Finally, it has more crew members and is faster than the HMS Arethusa. However, compared to the HMS Arethusa, it has a weaker anti-aircraft armament, so players are advised to be particularly alert for enemy aircraft during battles. To enhance survivability, it is advised to stay near allies to provide more anti-aircraft fire.

-The Leander is very similar to the Arethusa, its predecessor, but has some upgrades over the former. It carries an extra gun turret, giving it an 8-shell broadside which, combined with the 7.5s reload, can give the Leander some dangerous firepower with good accuracy. The good turret traverse and SAP shells make this ship dangerous at close quarters, where it can deal good damage and good penetration to enemy cruisers. It carries the same secondary armament of eight 4-inch guns with four on each broadside, making it a menace for destroyers and larger aircraft. It's also faster than the Arethusa and boasts a larger crew. While the armour is still weak for a cruiser, it's stronger than the Arethusa, with much better protection for the ammo stowage and the gun turrets, as well as some armour for the rudder, which is rare for a light cruiser.

 One drawback for the Leander is its weakened AA armament. While it isn't terrible, it's a far cry from the powerful AA screen of the Arethusa, and can leave it vulnerable if it has no friendly ships to offer additional AA fire. The Leander's guns also start to lack at 5.3. Lacking the AP shells of other nations, heavy cruisers can be a real challenge for the Leander, and it struggles to deal good damage at long range as a result.
