"USS" is the abbreviation for "United States ship." It is not part of the ship's name and should not be italicized along with the ship.
By comparison, "HMS" is the abbreviation for "Her Majesty's ship", or ships of the United Kingdom.
"HMAS" is the abbreviation for "Her Majesty's Australian ship", or ships of Australia.
