Mutual support at the Battle of the Mutara Nebula

How would the panel fight the Battle of the Mutara Nebula to win without sacrificing crew, on either side?

Keep Khan talking to improve the Enterprise's position, or avoid the trap through earlier monitoring and mutually supporting ships.

The tactical suggestions focus on the Enterprise. One proposal keeps Khan talking while the ship moves into a better firing position. More regular checks on Khan might also have prevented the situation from developing. Sending solitary ships on such investigations leaves them without accompanying vessels able to provide support. Spock's death also serves the film's narrative, which limits a purely tactical reading of the scene.
