....the renown should have nothing to do with it. That's tantamount to telling a skipper "we're pissed that you've decided to continue fighting the war so we won't give you these new toys to do the job better. We'd rather you risk you and your crews lives with the existing kit. Have a nice day."
I totally understand the rationale behind transferring experience to schools but the option vs the renown aspect, IMHO, just doesn't jibe. In this case there should be no "choice" but rather "thanks for your work skipper, you're done with combat, you're going to the school." Period! End of career with an appropriate splash screen. Orders is orders etc ad naus. THAT I could completely understand but the current method/option just makes it illogical.
