Had a try at this last night. I removed all of the black spot marks for ships at high zoom levels in TMO, and removed the box that marks ships at lower zoom levels from both merchants and warships. I added back in the triangle marker for airplanes. Turned contacts back on and fired up a training mission.
Results:
Ships were not visible on the map at all. Airplanes were visible as the triangle symbol when within visible range, but did not appear beyond visible range. The game uses the square box for airplane radar contacts, so I didn't see a way to make them appear without also showing the ships.
