A nonlinear steering model is derived, and the feedback linearization method is chosen to simplify the nonlinear system in this study. The adaptive method and disturbance observer technique are proposed for course keeping and ensuring robust performance of the time varying wave moment and actuator dynamics. Finally, the simulation results on a navy ship illustrate the effectiveness of the presented control algorithms for course keeping %K nonlinear disturbance observer %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=325615
