There is no evidence of presence of electronic surveilence aboard the Catalinas.

The Catalinas were on international waters.

Both of the above statements are correct. The shot-down Catalina (not plural) was not on a surveilence mission, but on a rescue mission, searching for the lost DC-3 aircraft. 83.250.228.140 20:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
