Yeah, but only in the sense that the game auto-promotes you once your renown goes above a certain level. However if you then choose to spend some of that renown on upgrades, and it drops you below the amount necessary to hold a certain rank, it demotes you back again.
If instead you could choose to spend x amount of renown on a promotion, you'd have that rank and keep it - but you'd lose however much renown it cost you, and not be able to buy a new boat or upgrades until you went out and accumulated more. Still not perfect since having more renown should IMO allow for both a promotion AND access to mo' better stuff without having to choose between the two... but IMO it's better than being auto-demoted because your renown qualified you for an upgrade on equipment and you chose to take advantage of that.
