Yup - a near-suicidal mission. I seem to recall having succeeded once, but mostly by luck. I'm currently running the TMO mod (custom difficulty settings, with no external views to help) and have tried three times, with the same fatal results. My only suggestion is to make sure you save the game before sending a radio message that will give you a new mission, and if they send you to Raboul, cheat and reload the save. Thot, or ignore the mission entirely, and go look for something to sink instead.
Edit: In fact, thinking about it, I remember not only succeeding in getting the photo's one time few years ago, but deciding to do the obvious, and torpedo the stationary carriers. I can't remember whether I got out alive that time...
