The burned wreck of the Conception has been raised, and is now at the naval base in Port Hueneme. This is what some news sources are saying. The investigation is still a multi-agency probe.

Many things remain unexplained. For example, the NTSB has released a preliminary report saying that all 6 crew members onboard the Conception were asleep at the time the fire started. However, it has also been reported that this conclusion is based on interviews with three of the crew after the accident (incl. The captain). It is not clear why the testimony of 2 crew members is missing. 5 crew members survived, and one died (the 6th was sleeping below decks). It looks like a long and painstaking investigation.
