So what do we know about the Enterprise's plasma cannons? Are those the weapons that we saw in "Broken Bow"? How many, and where are they?

Yes, that's them, fired only in that episode. We know they have at least two mounts, and from the angle we saw them fired they seem to match the two structures on the dorsal side of the model. That's about it, really. Should someone bug Doug?
But a nice, warm, over-coffee bug. Not a cold, fanboyish Jaeger bug.

I'm rather skeptical about there being only three phase cannons due to energy limitations. After all, IIRC, the two seen fired in "Silent Enemy" was only feeding off the impulse drives. They can probably tap the warp core for more juice, no problem.
The NX-01 didn't have the most brilliant defensive designs. I'd love to take a shuttlepod against it.
