Agincourt will complete the Royal Navy\u2019s seven-strong fleet of\u00a0hunter-killer attack subs, the most powerful to\u00a0ever enter British service, whilst our nuclear deterrent is the ultimate defense against\u00a0the most extreme dangers we could possibly face,&#8221; Williamson said in\u00a0the statement.In addition to\u00a0announcing the massive investment, the UK defense secretary also opened a new submarine construction building worth 100 million pounds in\u00a0the BAE Systems factory in\u00a0Cumbria county in\u00a0North West England, the statement noted.<\/p>\n<p>Since becoming the defense secretary in\u00a0November, Williamson has been calling for\u00a0strengthening the UK submarine fleet, citing the alleged surge in\u00a0the Russian submarine activity near\u00a0UK shores. Moscow, in\u00a0turn, has repeatedly denied accusations of\u00a0posing a threat to\u00a0Western countries, calling them
