Unless I'm wrong, upon deliver the Russian Mistral will become the largest warship purpose built to order in a foreign yard since ARA Moreno, delivered by the United States to Argentina in 1915. HMS Canada, later Almirante Latorre, was purpose built to Chilean specifications in 1914, but served in the Royal Navy until 1920. I can't think of any aircraft carriers purpose built for immediate sale that are as large as a Mistral; HTMS Chakri Naruebet is only about 12000 tons. If I'm missing a major sale, please note in comments.
Meaningless coincidence, or eerie similarity?
