	'''NAMESAKE''' - Admiral John Sidney McCain Sr., USN (August 9 1884 – September 6 1945).<br/>		'''NAMESAKE''' - Admiral John Sidney McCain Sr., USN (9 August 1884 – 6 September 1945).<br/>
	McCain served in the U.S. Navy from 1906 to 1945 and was a veteran of World War I and World War II. McCain also participated in the "Great White Fleet" world cruise from 1907 to 1909.<br/>		McCain served in the U.S. Navy from 1906 to 1945 and was a veteran of World War I and World War II. McCain also participated in the "Great White Fleet" world cruise from 1907 to 1909.<br/>John Sidney McCain was born in Teoc, Miss. 9 August 1884 and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1906. His first assignments were ships of the Asiatic Squadron. During the American occupation of Vera Cruz in the Mexican revolution he served in San Diego, and remained on the ship during 1918 while she performed Atlantic escort duty.<br/>
	During his career, McCain received the following awards - Navy Cross, Navy Distinguished Service Medal with 2 Gold Stars, World War I Victory Medal with "Escort" clasp, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal and Navy Occupation Service Medal with "Asia" clasp.		In the years between the World Wars, McCain served in many ships, including Maryland, New Mexico, and Nitro. His first command was Sirius. In 1936, at the age of 51, he was designated a Naval Aviator, and from 1937 to 1939 he commanded carrier Ranger, contributing much to the development of carrier tactics for the war to come. For the first year of World War II he served as Commander of Air Forces for Western Sea Frontier and the South Pacific Force. In October 1942 McCain became Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics and in August 1943 rose to the rank of Vice Admiral as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air).<br/>
			In 1944 he returned to the Pacific Theatre to command a fast carrier task force which for over a year operated almost continuously in support of the great amphibious operations. His exceedingly skillful tactics protecting Canberra (CA-70) and Houston (CA-81) in October 1944 earned him the Navy Cross, and the daring forays of his mobile force had much to do with the eventual victory. Vice Admiral McCain died 6 September 1945, just after arriving back in the United States, and was later appointed Admiral effective that date. For his outstanding performance as an air planner and carrier task force commander he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal with two Gold Stars.<br/>
			During his career, Admiral McCain received the following awards - Navy Cross, Navy Distinguished Service Medal with 2 Gold Stars, World War I Victory Medal with "Escort" clasp, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal and Navy Occupation Service Medal with "Asia" clasp.<br/><br/>
			The ships sponsor was Mrs. John S. McCain, Jr., daughter-in-law of Admiral McCain

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.

existing example.
