Disambiguation

Realistically, readers are likely to assume the current J.McC is it, but Admiral Daddy and Admiral Gran'daddy really deserve links. Regular disambiguation, given how often people will type in "John McCain", doesn't sound like the best approach for usability. Suggestions? Howard C. Berkowitz 19:31, 1 July 2008 (CDT)
