I don't know about frigates, but the exhaust stacks from seismic boats can present challenges, probably pretty much the same thing. My technique is to approach from an angle, never from dead astern.

I doubt the helicopter engine exhaust will ignite the gas, but there is usually an electrical charge on the helicopter, as anyone who has attached an external load can testify. Discharge of this can result in a spark which can certainly ignite gas.
