Where did the name come from?
In 2020, the corps held a naming competition during which cadets at the corps could submit their ideas for names. The best 3 names were chosen and put to a vote.
Why "Buffer?"
Many years ago, a staff member of 104 Brilliant took a stuffed animal raccoon, dressed him as a sailor, and named him "Petty Officer Buffer." The good PO was a constant figure in the ship's office and accompanied generations of cadets on many adventures. Sadly, in 2019 Petty Officer Buffer was lost at sea during routine training.
