The Indonesian Navy's sail training ship KRI DEWARUCI arrived at Fremantle 24/08/2013 with heavy weather damage caused by storms off the Western Australian coast near Shark Bay whilst on her voyage south earlier this week.
The DEWARUCI was bound for Geraldton and then Fremantle as part of her voyage to Sydney to take part in the Royal Australian Navy's International Fleet Review in early-October.
The upper topsail section on the foremast appears to have snapped and fallen over.
The entire bowsprit and figurehead are missing - it is not certain if these have been lost or were damaged and then removed but all were missing upon arrival at previous port of Geraldton.
Heavy rusting / streaking from seas around the bow.It is understand that repairs are to be carried out at Fremantle before proceeding on her voyage to eastern Australia.

The top of the foremast was still not in place when she departed Fremantle. Thank you for the additional information.

It looks like her bowsprit broke first and then cut off to prevent further damage to her hull. Your picture shows that the remains of the bowsprit get a temporary cover. It might be that the remains are removed as well and the ship is prepared for leaving port without further repairs.
Hope she will be repaired in time for the upcoming events in Australia although the building of a much larger barque rigged replacement is already ordered from a Spanish shipyard.
