A submarine is steered by means of a special bow assembly. The submarine has a body formed with a contoured surface and a forward portion forming a bow. The assembly comprises an annular member surrounding the bow with an outer surface complementary to the contoured surface of the body, and actuating means secured to the body for movement of the annular member forward and away from the bow at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. When the annular member is displaced at the angle, the vehicle is caused to turn in the direction toward which the annular member is turned.
