Will this suffice? I made this about three years ago (more than that, actually) by cutting and pasting from the Voyager and Enterprise-E schematics that were available in the "Captain's Chair" CD. Not the greatest resolution, but it's interesting...

Not bad! You've got your deflector where your bridge shoud be though.

I forgot about the Norway nacelles when Amasov was doing his nice art-work/schematics... but I take back what I said about it being part of the 'Borg-threat weapons program' - I believe it was a precursor or design-mate of the Intrepid Class series. It has 'tracks' across the top of it's nacelles with two 'divot' points - where it looks as if the ship can have two nacelle configurations a la Voyager.
Also it has the 'new' wedge/x-axis ovoid "spoon"/"shovel" design that Voyager has.
The Intrepid class was supposed to have the variable geometry warp-nacelles added as a feature late into it's design. I'm guessing the Norway had it applied at the same time.
Considering "Force of Nature" was in 2370 and Voyager premiered in 2371 - it gave it a little over a year to have the moving Nacelles to be incorporated into it's design.
Did the Intrepid have moving nacelles when it was launched - or was it the Voyager that had them first?
Then the Sovereign Class was launched in 2373 (I think) by that time they seemed to have solved the warp-pollution problem.
If new Intrepids were built - would they have the moving nacelles? Would they have them fixed in one position? Would that be up or down?

If there's a "failed design" in Starfleet, it's the Intrepid. They were no use in the War and we've only seen them assigned to diplomatic duties or chasing petty Maquis.

Er...admittedly, being a hero ship skews the statistics a bit, but there's nothing to suggest that the Intrepid class isn't a rousing success.

I'm only pointing out people's odd notion that the Norway is a failure because we've not seen more of it....just like the Intrepid. ...and that movable nacelles on anything is a baad idea and I disgard it for the Norway.

That refit was overkill though... would you want a torp launcher behind you on the bridge... or even on Deck 1?

They put a torp launcer on deck 1!?! Stoopid. Data could have jumped out of the bridge and ridden a torp to the Scimitar a la "Dr. Strangelove" (I hope that was the movie).

Could be worse: look how close the Southerand's torpedo spread is to the bridge in Redemotion Pt.II . One good jolt to the ship's ventral side and the ship would torp itself!
The AGT Enterprise has two giant torp launchers right behind the bridge....another baaaad design idea.
