Yep. Much like anti-submarine frigates also shooting down aircraft or delivering humanitarian aid, providing disaster relief, countering drug, arms and people smuggling with board & search procedures, undertaking search & rescue operations plus marine salvage missions and performing other defence constabulary tasks and goodwill visits supporting defence diplomacy (like what usually happens in peacetime).
Infuriating, isn't it?
