Yes, but you remember that Decker's ship (the Constellation?) was SEVERELY
damaged; Scotty had to work just to get impulse (barely).  It is very probable
that the hanger bay doors were damaged, or the bay was completely destroyed.

Assuming that there were no other ways in/out of the ship than transporter
or shuttle craft, this would effectively trap them, even an Enterprise shuttle
couldn't help.  This was true during the series.  In STII, however, didn't
they use another way?  My memory isn't what it used to be.
