Presumably in the same place Voyager's was...
Interesting note about the Farragut Bridge redress I picked up on. To establish the ship is older visually they added the lamp/viewer elements from Cage/WNMHGB on the back consoles and opted for a grey/muted orange repaint which also evokes the Pilot era sets. Neat touch in my opinion.
An early concept for the Enterprise for its appearance in DIS had those spheres--but it also had the aft nacelle caps turned inwards towards one another like those of Cochrane's Phoenix.

If that's what you're reading in to that emoji then fine. It's not my intent but clearly I'm not communicating it well. My apologies. When I don't understand I want to. And that clearly created a conflict. For that, I am sorry.
It does, but I've also seen it used in lieu of "Whatever floats your boat..."Funny, I always thought this emojimeant "I'm Not Sure"....
Yeah, they were removed because someone on the art team pointed out that the Enterprise shouldn't have them yet.
there some visible differences between the Farragut and a similar looking ship spotted in Drydock in episode 1

Don't apologize, especially to someone who's sole purpose seems to be stirring shit up <insert appropriate emoji here>
Hey, if I miscommunicated I'm willing to own that. Besides, I'm an overthinker too.
I’m going to take your apology as sincere for the time being and say thank you.
Maybe? Emojis have no single or clear definition. Their relationship to the content and the context of that content influences their effect.Funny, I always thought this emoji
I guess I'm using it wrong as well.
Don’t jump to conclusions.
EDIT: maybe some of the confusion inherent in online conversation might be cleared up with a good Zoom. Again, open invite to all to join today’s Trek Zoom run by Captain Moe in General Trek forum, at 4 PM BST (British Summer Time). Link posted at time of the event. No need to have watched any episodes to participate, no need to stay for the whole thing (they go on for hours), or to show on time. And nothing is recorded and you don’t even have to get on camera if you don’t want to. It’s a welcoming international crowd; the more the merrier.

The Enterprise isn't supposed to have TMP-style phaser banks either, but she has them. That's not a knock against the design or the art team, just simply a creative choice like the nacelle end caps.
I'm just repeating what John Eaves said for the Eaglemoss booklet. They were removed because someone pointed that out.
Somethings like the phaser hardpoints are probably so the FX team has something to use, also looks good on close ups if the weapons aren't coming out of nowhere.

I've got that booklet (plus the Eaglemoss model). There was a lot of thought that went into re-creating the Enterprise for DIS (and now SNW), and the art team had to find a balance between updating the design and keeping elements of the original.
I'm just grateful that the lighting for starships is brightened across the board relative to the other two live-action shows, particularly Discovery. (Though they've gotten somewhat better about that as of late.)
Back when this all began (again), during "The Battle of the Binary Stars", it felt to me like someone on the production staff decided the key to differentiating this new era of Star Trek was to muddle visibility by a significant margin. It didn't work two years later when the White Walkers arrived at Winterfell, either, folks.

Not missing those nacelle domes one bit, and glad to see them establish that the ship doesn't have them in the later era. At least, not so far.
Some fan ought to find a way to edit the space effects for "A Quality of Mercy" into the TOS episode "Balance of Terror."

It's less true than ever that there's a single definitive version of the ship models for reference as to "true color" and all the details of the design. Digital artists vary the illumination, color, reflectivity and things like hull detail and even the nacelle "bussard" lighting depending on scene lighting, how close the virtual camera will be, and all manner of other things. There's no single Enterprise.
I built this one with a hodgepodge of all available decals for an everyship effect.
That looks cool. I wish my Enterprise was just as easy to build though…
And I wish your Enterprise 
wasn't as expensive as it is.
