Whats the difference between a Civil War Monitor and a Vietnam War Monitor?

The US Civil War Monitor had twin 11 inch guns on her single turret. The Vietnam War Monitor normally had a single 40mm gun in its single turret. The monitors of the US Civil War were built as warships like the British monitors of World War I, and they were given names. They were intended to combat enemy warships and for heavy shore bombardment. The monitors of the Vietnam War were armed and armored modifications of landing craft to provide security on the Mekong river; similar in design and concept to German monitors (called F-Lighters) which defended Axis shipping in coastal areas of World War II, and they were given only numbers. The British monitors were like small battleships with large guns mounted in a single turret. Variations exist depending on country, era, and mission, but a monitor can be defined as a slow heavily-armored vessel which carries few guns of a large caliber for its size; a gunship. A single turret is the norm, but exceptions exist. The German F-Lighters had two 88mm in single-gun turrets. In the US Civil War, the Union Navy operated a small number of monitors with twin 11 inch guns in one turret and twin 15 inch guns in a second turret.

What is a gun?

A gun is a projectile weapon. It launches one or more projectiles from a tube by means of gas. If the gas is produced by burning the gun is classified a firearm. If the gas is compressed by means of a spring or fed from a reservoir the gun is classified an air gun. Guns intended to be fired from the shoulder and held by both hands are called long arms. Guns meant to be operated by a single hand and lacking a stock are called handguns. Guns firing multiple projectiles consecutively by a single action of the trigger are called machine guns. Large guns mounted on vehicles, ships or fortifications are called cannons. There are also tools that are called guns because of their shape and similarity of controls to a handgun. This would include nail guns, glue guns, caulk guns, staple guns and the like.
