McCartney said "Uncle Albert" was based on his uncle. "He's someone I recall fondly, and when the song was coming it was like a nostalgia thing."[4] McCartney also said, "As for Admiral Halsey, he's one of yours, an American admiral", referring to Admiral William "Bull" Halsey.[4]

Song Meaning

@lolguy23 That is right Admiral Halsey and he refers to when Halsey couldn't take his aircraft carrier to sea during the battle of Midway because he had to be in the hospital and take a oatmeal water bath according to the movie "Midway". Such a great song.
