I hardly ever use renown for anything. I don't buy boats, I run separate careers, on in each type.

Don't know if GWX mirrors that or not, and obviously as operations in the eastern Atlantic continued and expanded there were more boats and probably other flotillas involved.

At any rate, you don't get renown in GWX for patrolling your assigned grid, so as long as you've got a boat that can get you there and back, there's no reason not to go if that's what you want to do. If you're a stickler for the realism of following your orders I would suggest using Commander as Steve suggests and selecting whatever patrol grid you want.
