Why does the Enterprise always get destroyed?

And you're sticking to that excuse.
Yes,
OK, I know that this is just a simple typo, but it brings to mind an image of a very tiny space suit...
Ha! Now that error I didn't notice. I recently had lens replacements on both eyes and my long vision is restored to 20/20 for the first time since 1969, but I now require reading glasses for close work. And i don't have the right prescription yet.
^ Congratulations on the successful eye surgery! 
Enterprise C wasn't detroyed. It went back to the battle, was severly damanged. But it wasn't destroyed 'cause Seal says in "Redempton: Part II" that the Romulans took the survivors prisoners and were going to execute them, but Yar struck a deal that saved their lives. Tasha tried to escape, she was executed (no word on the other prisoners).
So officially by Starfleet: the Enterprise C was lost in battle at Narendra III.
So unless it destabilized and blew, it should have been towed back to Romulus or some base, for study.
A ship can still have survivors after being destroyed. Maybe some of them made it to escape pods? Or maybe after the Enterprise C was neutralized, Romulans beamed over, collected anyone who was living, took them back to the Romulans ships. Since the Enterprise was basically a worthless hulk with no value at all, what was left was destroyed completely.
They took "the battered hulk" back to Romulus where according to the novels, what was left was rebuilt on the outside and erected as a momument to their "victory" against the Federation in the Romulan capital.
Little of the interior was left after the plasma torpedoes ripped her open and incinerated a lot of the interior. Over 100 of the crew survived in bulkheaded areas, all taken into slavery and by Sela's word, the men were executed publically over time, the women being taken as sexual slaves.
Luckily, TPTB saw fit to visit poetic justice on the scumbags in 2387 when their star went FUCK YOU and boiled over 11 billion of them alive instantly.
I could buy the building of the Enterprise being "hidden" if Kirk hadn't driven right up to the construction site on his motorcycle.
It was a cool-looking shot, though.

It would be easier to hide than in orbit. The DS9 novel Antimatter had a full Ambassador-class starship built on Bajor that then lifted off.
Maybe they should have built it underwater. After all, according to STID, putting a starship underwater is the best way to hide it.
Hidden from off-planet observers, not from juvenile delinquents on motorcycles.I could buy the building of the Enterprise being "hidden" if Kirk hadn't driven right up to the construction site on his motorcycle.
Star Trek Online has since revealed that the Enterprise-E was destroyed in 2408 in a confrontation with the Undine, but Captain Data and his crew managed to escape. Meanwhile in the novelverse, the E is still going strong in 2386.
Also, I believe you mean the Enterprise-F is in active service as of 2410.
The common interpretation of ENT - "Azati Prime" is that the timeline wherein the Federation finally defeated the Sphere Builders in the 26th century was prevented by ENT - "Zero Hour". Therefore, the canon fate of the main timeline's Enterprise-J is unknown, if there ever will be one.
