Assigned to recon and photograph the ships in Surabaya if possible, I creep to that exact point, select each ship in turn in my scope in broad daylight using either scope, get a positive ID from the TDC, but the camera icon remains inactive. Waiting around for three days and sinking everything in sight does not change that or grey out the icon.

First, did you 'lock on' to the target before clicking on the camera icon?
It seems to me that it does need to be locked.

OR: you haven't found the right set of ships that the mission was "expecting". Sometimes the mission seems to have a certain number of photos to be taken before it's completed. Of course, when you get the Check Mark in the upper right hand corner, you'll know you've taken the required photos.
