In formal writing, the current convention is to italicize the name of a ship rather than underline it. Italicizing helps to differentiate the name of the ship from the surrounding text and gives it emphasis. This practice is consistent with the general rule of italicizing titles of larger works, such as books, newspapers, and films.
