British Navy question

I'm sure our British cousins can answer this easily enough...

During WWII The British Navy lost a lot of various types of warships, but they just kept plugging along & got stronger with more ships showing up regularly.

I know that they picked up a lot of used DD's from all over the place at the beginning, but how about the large warships.
Where did they build those larger ships. Where did they get all of the steel that went into building them? How did they keep them hidden from prying eyes?

I should know this, but until now most of my History reading has been mainly of the ground forces nature..
