Why yes, there is.

Go to the SH4 directory, navigate to the data/sea directory and look in one of the directories listed there for any ship that DOES show up on your map when zoomed in, you are looking for the ships dds file. This file contains the graphic for use when zoomed in on a ship. In TMO this is the same for all ships visible when zoomed in, just a black dot.

Example: NDE_Parker_shp.dds

Copy this file and place it in the directory named for the ship that is NOT visible when zoomed in. Now, just rename the file to match the ship name (keeping the .dds extension, of course) and you are done. The ship will now be shown as a black dot when you zoom in.

Alternatively, there is a nice mod out there to make all TMO ships visible using the original style graphics, just check the downloads section.
