Though now more or less abandoned, the naming system of the US Navy had submarines named after fish.
A non-fictional example, British pedestrian crossings use animal names, first the Zebra crossing, which basically involves painting white stripes on the black road to mark a crossing point, hence the name. For crossings with traffic lights the first attempt was the bizzare Panda crossing. After an off-theme excursion with the nearly-right X way (Cross way) crossing, what became the standard design for the last 40 years was named the Pelican crossing, with Pelican being tweaked from "PEdestrial LIght CONtrolled crossing". Newer variants of the Pelican follow the bird theme, with the updated standard crossing being the Puffin crossing (Pedestrian User-Friendly Intelligent Crossing), those with provision for bicycles being Toucan crossings (two-can), and for equestrian there is the Pegasus crossing.
The American aircraft design company Grumman names a lot of its planes after cats (Wildcat, Panther, Tomcat, Cougar, and Tiger, for instance).
The Bundeswehr (and the Wehrmacht before it) names almost all of its vehicles after animals.
