A Monitor is a relatively small and slow warship, but armed with very heavy guns in one or more turrets, designed for use in shallow coastal waters and on rivers. The ship type is named after the ironclad USS Monitor, the first ship of this type built by the USA (Northern States) during the American Civil War. These ships were not intended for classic naval combat or for use in fleet formations, but were only conditionally seagoing platforms for a few large-calibre guns for coastal defence or for attacking land targets. - Wikipedia -
