The War of the Equatorial Strait, also known as the Equator Strait War or the Soltenish-Dwetasian War, was a naval conflict waged between the Dwetasia Kingdom of Dwetasia and the Union of Socialist Soltenish Republics between 1963 and 1966. Armed conflict had been brewing for some time in the Aestas Sea, as the staunchly anti-communist Kingdom of Dwetasia attempted to assert greater influence over the waves. This irredentist sentiment produced overlapping claims on the Greater Aestas Islands, which were controlled by communist Soltenia. This war is notable for being the last major use of battleships and other gun-carrying capital ships in Anterian naval warfare. As a result of the employment of these obsolete technologies, many historians and naval strategists have, in retrospect, come to believe that many of the ships sunk during the war could have survived if both sides employed more modern tactics for the time.
