I agree with you up to a point TarJak. I think the ideal system would have been a mixed one. Renown based on tonnage with respect to merchant ships and "special renown bonus" (even in terms of medals) for sinking "important" military ships like Aircraft Carriers and Battleships. I have the feeling that this is not possible though given the current structure of GWX.
Mel, I think it should be possible if you edit the renown on the carriers and battleships above and beyond the tonnage. The only problem would then come from ships sunk in a harbour raid which I also think should be rewarded differently.

IMHO, the tonnage on the larger targets in the tonnage model should actually be reward enough if you get the upgrade cost balance right.
