(a) The report is based on
Jonathan Greenert, Navy 2025: Forward Warfighters. Proceedings, December, 2011.

Quote:

"In Southeast Asia, we will station several of our newest littoral combat ships at Singapore’s naval facility * * * Our ships in Singapore will conduct cooperative counterpiracy or countertrafficking operations around the South China Sea.

"As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted in a recent Foreign Policy article, the Asia-Pacific region will be emphasized in our forward posture. In addition to being home to five U.S. treaty allies, the region boasts six of the world’s ten largest economies—with China projected to be the largest by 2025.

(iii) Admiral Greenert does not state anything new in this article. That US will station littoral combat ships at Singapore was announed in or around summer, this year. VOA and many other news outlets do not report what new ships will be stationed there, possibly because they did not read the article itself.
