The article about carriers quotes a “Vice Admiral John Sidney McCain.” Is that who I think it is?

Senator John McCain's father. Of course it couldn't be the Senator--he's far too young to have served in WW2.
Senior's status as an admiral during the Vietnam War was, if I'm correct, used by the North Vietnamese to make John Jr's. captivity more difficult.

It’s the Senator’s grandfather. He died four days after the Japanese surrender. John Sidney McCain II was also a Navy admiral, John Sidney McCain III is the Senator, John Sidney McCain IV is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy.
