When the name of a ship is made possessive by adding an apostrophe and
an "s", is the "s" italicized along with the ship's name?
Thanks
P.S. Could you recommend a style guide that references this. |

No.

I should have added here that the apostrophe is also not italicized.
The possessive ending referred to in the quote below is /'s/, not just
/s/.
