On an early comparison chart that can be found in Star Trek: The Art of the Film and in the special features of the Blu-ray the Armstrong type is represented by a "USS Armstrong NCC-1769" (1969 being the year of the first manned moon landing).
The pod is reminiscent of that on the Miranda (in its original form as USS Reliant) and may hold the torpedo launchers. The central nacelle is longer than the port and starboard ones. They are most likely meant to be smaller though.
The nacelles appear to be of the same type as those of the Kelvin, with what looks like impulse engines at their aft ends. This ship later departs from the station and is visible on the upper starboard side ahead of the Enterprise before going to warp. One of these vessels (previously referred to as "unnamed class I" at EAS) can be seen docked to the space station in "Star Trek (2009)". The aft section of the saucer is cut out. A "rollbar" with a pod is located above the saucer. This type of starship has three nacelles of two different sizes beneath the saucer. So this page shows all "Abramsverse" ships that appear in the three movies, rather than the "Kelvin Timeline" ships in a narrow sense. However, while the size, design and technology of the Franklin are reasonable, this can't be said about the Kelvin. Perhaps the USS Franklin and the USS Kelvin should find their way into the "regular" section of this database, because these ships predate the timeline tampering. This is why the "Star Trek (2009)", "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Star Trek Beyond" starships are in "confinement" at EAS. 
Yet, the redefinition of events and characters and the radical redesign of the sets, props and ships disconnect the new timeline from the existing Star Trek continuity. The Abrams movies take place in a new timeline (the Kelvin Timeline) for the most part, which is meant to be canon within Star Trek's overall continuity.
