3. I was withdrawn from my principle role after September 1944 (but I continued in other roles thereafter)

3. My range was one of my most important features

Canadian Catalinas were named Canso by the Royal Canadian Air Force in accordance with contemporary British naming practice of naming seaplanes after coastal port towns, in this case for the town of Canso in Nova Scotia.
