Buffing is a Brit term for a really smart guy: A person engaged in scientific or technical research or a person with knowledge or a skill considered to be complex, arcane, and difficult.

Boffin is Brit word for scientist.
Laser is a line-of-sight weapon. Not much good against other surface vessels I would think.
Perhaps aircraft and missiles are the intended targets.
