The active sonar on the FFG is pretty helpful in finding targets in high SNR because it is capable of single-beam sounding... also, the TA is helpful for use under the layer; it is possible to detect submarines without being counterdetected if they are running deep and you have your TA under a good layer.
In general, though, you are right, the FFG's main strength in ASW are it's MH60's.
