The Vayrag is not something to be taken lightly. Fully equiped it would approach a 65,000 ton displacement and embark 40-50 modern jet fighter and attack aircraft. As such, it would be the equal (it is in fact a newer design) to the Russian Kuznetzov and would be the largest carrier in the world outside of America's super-carriers.

If there were no other vessels in existence, my Catalina 27 sailboat could be described as "the largest vessel in the world outside of America's super-carriers".
