What rank was he when he retired?

He was a Captain. Here is something definitive that I found with google:

I'm pretty sure his dad and grandfather both made Admiral, there is a
destroyer named after one or both of them.

Google.

For father, a short one:

And for the grandfather, also a brief one:

Both, indeed, made it all the way to Admiral. And DDG 56, John
S. McCain is named after both.
