Polish term or phrase: sternik
sternik na łodzi wojskowej, pływającej w wodach śródlądowych. Już wiem, że jest to jednostka, która może być uniesiona helikopterem, a więc zdecydowanie łódź wielkości małej lub średniej, nie okręt ani statek.
Dziękuję.

Explanation:

Since I think nadbudowa is a pilothouse, then sternik would be "a pilot," also known as a helmsman.
