It is widely acknowleded that Singapore has the best airforce in South-East Asia and now, we are also have the best Navy in S.E.A.

DPM Teo Observes RSN Frigate and Naval Helicopters in Integrated Exercise in San Diego
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean observed an integrated exercise on board a Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Formidable-class stealth frigate, RSS Stalwart, involving the frigate and two Sikorsky S-70B naval helicopters in San Diego, USA, today (Singapore time). During his visit to the exercise, Mr Teo also met RSN and Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) servicemen training in the Naval Helicopter detachment at the United States Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego.
The integration of the RSN's frigates with the naval helicopters enables the frigates to undertake anti-surface and anti-submarine missions at longer ranges. Each frigate's sophisticated Command, Control and Communications suite allows it to network with a wide variety of Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) assets. This increases force-level awareness and mission effectiveness.
The RSS Stalwart and naval helicopters are part of the Peace Triton detachment which was inaugurated on 16 Nov 2009. Since the inauguration, SAF personnel have been training with their United States Navy (USN) counterparts to conduct integrated maritime helicopter operations. SAF personnel in the detachment comprise RSAF pilots and air maintenance crew, RSN Tactical Co-ordination Officers and Sensor Operators, as well as the crew of the RSS Stalwart.
