Singapore's Independence class and mission fit

Is Singapore's Independence-class littoral mission vessel a better execution of the idea behind the US littoral combat ship?

It is a better fit for Singapore because it was designed around that navy's actual missions, whereas the LCS did not fit US Navy needs.

One design is not universally superior. Singapore defined a bounded operating environment and built a ship around it, while the United States asked the LCS concept to satisfy a different and less coherent set of demands. The comparison shows why requirements must match the navy that will use the ship.
