My name is Ahmed El Solh.

I graduated from Cleveland State with an MBA in 2015.

I am currently an international business development specialist for Baylor College of Medicine.

I'm originally from Lebanon.

I was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates,

and Cleveland State got my attention because I've been coming to Cleveland for a really long time,

and I wanted to come back home to Cleveland State

when it was time for me to go to college abroad from the UAE.

So, I chose Cleveland because of how accessible and easy the city is,

but also for how well recognized Cleveland State is,

and again the various programs that they had to offer.

After just a short period of time of moving to Cleveland,

I really felt like I was home and Cleveland State was a big factor in making me feel welcome in Cleveland.

My name is Isam Muntaser.

I went to Cleveland State for my undergrad.

I got a business degree with a focus in international business.

I graduated in 2013.

I'm currently at the law school here.

The Arabic community at Cleveland State is pretty big.

I could comfortably say that most of my friends in undergrad were Arabic.

And you meet so many people,

because if you have one friend they'll introduce you to another friend.

Faculty and the teachers and professors, here, they're all good.

If you need help, they were always helpful.

Counseling, the counseling advisors, were always helpful.

I feel like I got a great education.

And all my friends that graduated from undergrad are working now with their degree.

So what more do you want?

My name is Maya Eadah.

I'm currently a student at Cleveland State.

I'm studying political science and international relations.

We have a great Arabic program here with great professors that are always willing to help the Arab students.

There's different clubs like the Arab Student Union,

there's the Muslim Student Association,

there's a Lebanese student organization.

And through all those I actually met so many different people.

And it's nice studying with people from the same background as you,

and you make a lot of new friends doing so here.

Everywhere you look there's an Arabic store,

there's Arabic restaurants,

there's a lot of Arab influence in Cleveland in general.

So I feel like they'll never feel left out.

They'll always meet somebody of their culture.

I'm Jad El Solh.

Born and raised in the United Arab Emirates. I'm Lebanese.

Moved to Cleveland in 2011 for the civil engineering program and graduated from here in 2015.

It's hard to leave your country, leave your culture and then just go somewhere,

especially if you're on your own without family members.

The biggest part that helped me is I didn't feel like I was away,

and I felt fine with meeting new people and being in the small community I'm in.

My name is Wisal Alazri.

I'm 21 years old. I'm a double major student here at Cleveland State University.

I came here in 2015 and I love it here.

I decided to study in the United States

because I heard about good things about the people here.

They're very open, they're very friendly, so I feel at home here at Cleveland State University,

because of how diverse it is, because of how many Arabs are here. So I don't feel like I'm a stranger.

My favorite experience in the city was the festivals here,

especially the Winter festivals.

It's so amazing to see the concerts, and then you see the people just coming out of nowhere.

And the things they have here on the streets, it's amazing.

The biggest enemy of the United States has lost two warships 22/8/2017 - Duration: 4:38.

With the second Aegis-powered destroyer eliminated from the "fighting" in just the past few months,

the US Navy has increasingly exposed its weakness.

According to National Interest, the USS Fitzgerald guided missile destroyer (DDG-62) is no longer

able to land at sea after a sharp collision with a cargo ship off the coast of Japan on

June 17.

More than two months later, on August 21, the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) was shut down

because it crashed three times larger.

These two cases occurred just as the US Navy had to concentrate its resources to counter

the ballistic missile threat from North Korea in the Pacific.

According to Dave Majumdar, the US Navy has no alternative to the two ships, with only

275 warships present in all of the world's oceans.

"The US warships are overwhelmed," said Seth Cropsey, director of the Hudson Institute,

and former senior US Navy officer.

"This shows that warships have to work beyond safety limits and that training is not really

effective," said Cropsey.

Bryan McGrath, a maritime expert, agrees with Mr. Cropsey.

"So we have lost two DDG destroyers, both of which have the ability to create anti-ballistic

missile shields.

The only small-scale US fleet that has been forced to fend off a major flaw in the western

Pacific front.

"

"I was thinking of the possibility that the US Navy would have to mobilize warships who

had never left North America to support the Pacific forces," McCrath said.

It's not easy to fill the space of two destroyers, said Bryan Clark, a Washington-based Center

for Strategic and Financial Studies.

"The remaining 10 cruisers and destroyers were too thin in the western Pacific.

The US Navy will have to take warships from the American continent instead, "said Clark.

According to National Interest, these are signs that the US Navy is forcing fleets with

fewer warships than during World War II, to fulfill one global mission to another.

This could be the cause of the accident and is the biggest enemy of the US Navy today.

"Replacing warships is not easy either.

As planned, two warships removed from the "fighting" will have to be replaced by five

more ships because the sailors on board are inexperienced and unable to sail for long

periods of time.

"

US naval expert Jerry Hendrix says it does not rule out the possibility that the US Navy

is forcing warships to take advantage of training time at sea during wartime missions.

"We may be forcing sailors to train in real missions, because there is no time between

ship return to port maintenance until returning to sea," Hendrix said.

Obviously, the US Navy with 275 warships, including 100 24/24 hour battle ships in any

sea in the world, is a force that is too thin.

Since then, experts have called on the US Navy to build new, smaller, multi-role warships

with cheap production costs to offset the shortfall in quantity.

The advent of the frigate in the US fleet also enabled the frigates to reduce their

operational burden.

"We need 50-75 frigates, not to mention many faster attack submarines to make up for the

shortage," Hendrix suggested.

But making new warships takes time.

The US Navy's ability to do so is the ability to bring Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates

back to sea.

"Attaching missiles to these frigates, the US Navy can increase the number of warships

without much cost," said Hendrix.
