'Maru' is just a designation. It can be applied to any merchant ship, large or small.

To muddy the waters further a lot of Japanese minelayers had the designation maru as well, being former merchant vessels. They also converted a lot of merchants into gunboats and landing ships which kept their maru name suffix.
I'd say a gunboat counts as a warship. Has a gun.

I'm not sure how to vote except that I'd like to find out if there was a US Navy convention that was adhered to for differentiating among the various kill sizes.
