Steel is often used in large amounts for the following:

1. Repair of capital ships (especially the battleships)

2. Construction recipes of battleships

3. Surface combat equipment (the larger the cannon you are aiming for, the larger the steel expense)

Considering you're somewhat new if you are asking if steel is enough, I'd say you don't have to worry about steel. Oftentimes the most commonly depleted resource in events is fuel. Buckets also tend to run out for newer admirals or for those who don't know how to conserve it.
