I think some of this issue is that you need to pin down what your premise is. Because when you say futuristic, I would assume science fiction. If your book is in the future and everything is *space* themed: why assume naval titles? It's sci-fi! It don't gotta be perfect. Just apply the roman land army titles along how they would logically be aplied to a (presumably) spacefaring or at least futuristic military. Maybe more details about your setting would help? I'm sure plenty of folk here have opinions about about how to organize fighter ships into maniples.
