If I had to guess I would agree that each ship has a certain amount of renown attached to it, but, the game rewards you a percentage of that renown in relation to the realism settings you have selected for that career.

Lifted from the community manual -

Renown and Realism

The renown you receive for sinking enemy ships is also affected by your Realism %. You will earn more renown for playing at a higher Realism %.
The formula for calculating renown (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=36293), per ship, is:
base ship renown value (see below) * ( (0.75 * realism %) + 0.25 ).Therefore, At 100% realism, you will receive full renown credit for every ship that you sink and at 0% realism, you will receive 25% of the renown credit for every ship.
