Don't know about stock but GWX follows the historically accurate KM ranks:

Leutnant zur See
Oberleutnant zur See
Kapitänleutnant
Korvettenkapitän
Fregattenkapitän
Kapitän zur See
Kommodore
Konteradmiral
Vizeadmiral
Admiral

and so on. Altho I'm sure the number of ranks in the game is limited, so I don't think you can get promoted all the way as high as Admiral altho I know some players have done modding in this area. No one with the rank of Admiral would be out at sea commanding a frontboot anyway.

And yes you do get promoted based on your "score" in the game, i.e. based on renown. IIRC it's even possible to get demoted again if you spend some of your renown on new crew and equipment and it drops below the required level for your rank.

For specific info on the requirements, you can open your game's basic.cfg file and scroll down until you find the sections that apply to player renown, ranks, medals, etc.
