If, once you took your pictures, you proceded to sink ships you would alert the enemy to the fact that American forces had plans involving that harbor, thereby defeating the very purpose you were sent there for.

You make a good point. A sub wouldn't be sent on such a hazardous mission, unless there was a very good reason; a desire for general information hardly qualifies.

It would be nice if the game were smart enough to come up with more authentic or rational special missions.
