After all a Norwegian or U.S. freighter in a HX convoy surely didn't join the convoy because it's skipper is feeling lonely, but because they're carrying material for the enemy's war effort. Therefore I will attack any neutral ships in enemy waters as well as any ship within a convoy. Period!

So what we need is not only a date-specific renown system, but one that can distinguish between protected and single merchants.
