A device for controlling steering of a towed underwater object, in particular a towed linear acoustic antenna. The device comprises a body having a longitudinal axis, the body being provided with a fastener for fastening it releasably to the towed object, and a plurality of stabilizer fins, each of which is coupled to the body and extends along an axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of said body, the angular position of each fin relative to the body being pivotable about its transverse axis by control, so as to modify the angles of inclination of said fins.
