There were three generations of McCain men serving in the US Navy and it gets quite confusing since two were admirals, but the current Senator was only a Captain.
McCain's father was promoted to Admiral somewhere between WWII and 1965 when he led the US invasion of the Dominican Republic.
Here is the Wiki explanation on Senator McCain:
"His son, John S. McCain III, is a former naval aviator who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam during McCain's time as CINCPAC, who retired with the rank of captain and then became a United States Senator and the 2008 Republican Party nominee for President of the United States"
For the current Senator McCain, this link expains it all

I hope I have helped with the confusion, and not confused you more.
