For ships you must first design one with using Shipyards/New Designs. Then you must drill down to the planet where you want it built. There you must open the Economics tab, open the Military Tab and fill the Queue with up to three ships of your new design. When the ships are produced (if the AI wants them produced) you have to go to the galaxy map, select the system, where you have a Mobilization Centre, select "Deploy Task Force" and construct a task force containing your ships. Now you can actually use them. Isn't it easy? ;)
