Similarly, is the OOD responsible for steering a prescribed course or maintaining a Track or Course-Made-Good?  If a vessel must turn to avoid a collision, is the OOD responsible for bringing the vessel back to its prescribed course (which likely would mean that it was off its intended Track) or to bring it back to its intended Track??

So how far off of the track line do you get before someone gets permission to change course?
