I would imagine you don’t need as extensive a convoy system for wine than you did for gold and silver, so I would guess that in times of peace most of the fleet is patrolling the coasts of the Reach and 10-20 warships at a time have escort duty to and from Essos.
Sort of following up re: Redwyne fleet. Historically, how would such a force be used? Mostly as a convoy system a la the Flota de Indias, or was it more common to see such fleets engaged in general policing maneuvers to keep down piracy and wrecking (as I imagine the Imperial Roman Navy was employed in peacetime)? How do you think the Redwyne’s fleet operates; protecting the home waters or escorting larger mercantile convoys through dangerous areas like the Stepstones?
