You need to have :

Ship Yard (Level 3)
Combustion Engine (Level 3)
Espionage Technology (Level 2)

If you need to know the requirements for building anything, here's a huge help. Look on the options to the left of the screen. Look at the "Empire Menu" section and then go to "Technologies".
This section will tell you all the requirements for Research, buildings and units. It'll save you some massive headaches by helping you plan what techs, buildings, units, etc you want to invest resources to achieve.

Edit* Btw. Love the Dune name. :P

Wolf means the Technology list on the left hand side. This shows you a full list of buildings, defences, ships and technologies, and shows you what you need in order to qualify for them.

It sounds as though the menu you are looking at is your shipyard, and you have not researched any combustion tech.
