Fog of War in games is used to limit your map knowledge to only areas that you have units viewing. Toggling it off will reveal enemy units, ships, etc that you would normally not see without spies. While in the campaign map, if you type ".matteosartori.", the whole map will be revealed. Now that I look at your screenshot again, it looks like you already have that toggled off though.
apparently, there's a glitch that sometimes hides your ships if .matteosartori. is activated. try turing it off (or turn fog of war back on).
