I'm not sure if this is accurate, at a quick glance FAS.org says that the LAMPSIII carried by the FFG7 has an AQS-18A dipping sonar. That's an older helicopter, the MH60R is even newer and it also has dipping sonar.
I seem to remember that there was a version without the MAD sensor - and possibly also one without a dipping sonar, though I'm not too sure about that.
SH-60B = Sonobouys and Mad <For Most Warships Inc FFG7
SH-60F = Dipping Sonar, No Radar, MAD or Buoys (Some sorces say only half the buoys). <For Carriers
MH-60R = Dipping Sonar, Sonoboys <Just entering Service IIRC
