Is The U.S. Navy Building The Right Ships?

From Defense Industry Daily: The 656-ton Singaporean mini-corvette RSS Victory successfully fires a Barak-1 anti-aircraft missile during joint exercises with the USN in the South China Sea. It’s hardly the 1st time, and the inconvenient truth its that these ships are far better armed than the $550+ million, 3,000 ton “Littoral Combat Ships” the USA wants to deploy to Singapore.

My Comment:
I know that my title for this post is loaded .... but this post from Defense Industry Daily is making a point that should make one ponder.
