Sure, it does, because they're the same thing. It also notes that "[t]raditionally, underscoring was simply a way of indicating to the printer text that should be italicized." (18th Ed. at 4) Underscoring (underlining) is a substitute for italics. Since wordprocessers can typeset, underlining is not needed as a substitute anymore.
As an aside, I have yet to practice in a court that sticks to Bluebook rules regarding citations.
