John S. ""Slew"" McCain was an old-school sailor. Wiry, profane, a cusser and a gambler, he reminded more than one observer of ""Popeye."" He was also a pioneer in the hard-hitting naval tactics that brought Imperial Japan to its knees. McCain graduated from Annapolis in 1906 and served aboard an armoured cruiser in World War I.
