HMNZS ''Leander'' was a light cruiser which served with the Royal New Zealand Navy during World War II. She was the lead ship of a class of eight ships, the ''Leander''-class light cruiser and was initially named HMS ''Leander''.
== History ==
''Leander'' was launched at Devonport on 24 September 1931. She was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Leander'' on 24 March 1933. Along with she served in the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy.
In 1941 the New Zealand Division became the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and she was commissioned as HMNZS ''Leander'' in September 1941.
In World War II, ''Leander'' served initially in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Commander Stephen Roskill was posted as the ship's captain in 1941. In action on 27 February 1941, she sank the Italian armed merchantman near the Maldives, rescuing 113 of her crew. On 23 March 1941, ''Leander'' intercepted and captured the Vichy French merchant ''Charles L.D.'' in the Indian Ocean between Mauritius and Madagascar. On 14 April, ''Leander'' deployed for support of military operations in Persian Gulf and, on 18 April, joined the aircraft carrier and the light cruiser . On 22 April, ''Leander'' was released from support duties in the Persian Gulf and took part in search for German raider Pinguin south of the Maldives.
In June 1941, ''Leander'' was transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet and was active against the Vichy French during the Syria-Lebanon Campaign. After serving in the Mediterranean, ''Leander'' returned to the Pacific Ocean in 1943.
On 13 July 1943, ''Leander'' was with Rear Admiral Walden Lee Ainsworth's Task Group 36.1 of three light cruisers: ''Leander'' and the US ships and . The task group also included ten destroyers. At 01:00 the Allied ships established radar contact with the , which was accompanied by five destroyers near Kolombangara in the Solomon Islands. In the ensuing Battle of Kolombangara, ''Jintsu'' was sunk and all three Allied cruisers were hit by torpedoes and severely damaged. ''Leander'' was so badly damaged that she took no further part in the war. She was repaired, first in Auckland and then proceeded to a full refit in Boston.
She returned to the Royal Navy on 27 August 1945. In 1946 she was involved in the Corfu Channel Incident. She was scrapped in 1950.
