If Moscow and Paris sign a contract to build Mistral class helicopter carriers for Russia, the first such warship may be built in 2013, a top manager of the STX Europe shipbuilder said on Friday.
"If Russia and France sign the deal, the first Mistral-class vessel may be built in the shipyards of Saint-Nazaire in late 2013-early 2014," said Jacques Hardelay, STX Europe president for operations in France.
