They are still FFGs since the helo can fire AGM-119Bs.

It actually has to be a shipborne indigenous capability. They have to have an AAW missile capable of (x) range to be considered a FFG. Same applies for all ships. They have to have an AAW missile with a great enough range to get the "G" added to there designation. For example Spruance class DDs had Seasparrow SAM with a range of ~7nm but they didn't get the tag of DDG, but the Kidd class did because they has the SM-2 with a range of ~50nm. |
Apparently the US Navy doesn’t know that since the OHPs are still FFGs according to them.
