photo mission problem

That's just the problem: I've locked on every ship that was there and shot dozens of pics, but I just could not complete the mission.

You may have to get closer. Maybe the mission requires you to find a way around/through the nets. Does the photo button light up for every ship?

Yes the button did light up for every ship. Could be that I had to find a way in, but that is quite chalenging with the external camera deactivated.

Well, I just gave up, bagged two merchants, one tin can and collected my Bronze Star. Not bad for not completing my main goal.

You know you can use the pariscope under water and see quite well. That's how the real guys did it. Another thing to remember is those misssion objective icons don't always refresh on their own. When I think I have accomplished the mission I force the map to redraw and also look in the message log.

Been there, done that. But to be honest: I didn't want to spend the hole day looking through the periscope trying to find a gap in the net.
But I think it was a bug becuase of this pic I took (I re-started the mission, but now with the external camera activated and see what I found):

At first I thought it was a mine, but I think this is a rudder of a ship, perhaps the rudder of a 3rd carrier. However the rest of the ship is missing.

It's the rudder of Akitsu Maru. Jace11 modded a fix for that a long time ago.
