Well if the helo is remote controlled from the frigate you're still hampered by the distance.
Any more than 20 nm and you lose control of the helo. So in this case you would have to use human controlled helicopters.
This is my only remaining pet peve with the frigate, the maximum radius you can project your helos is very small (20 nm and thats it). It should be way more extended, around 50-60 nm maybe to be effective in ASW operations.
