Unknown, but I'm not inclined to worry about it too much.

None such, as presented in Infamy; that ship, an Andromeda-class battleship, was newly completed for fleet service and was presented to the IPSF unexpectedly, on quite short notice, after Challenger was crippled in the Battle of Bajor. Until that ceremony she'd probably had some other name, and had nothing at all to do with the old Invy.

But don't worry; when Infamy reappears, the Salusian vessel that serves as the IPSF's temporary flagship in Challenger's absence will still have her original RSN name (let's say, just for the sake of filling the place, that she was HMS Indomitable). The "new" Invincible will be quite something else again...
