I'm a little fuzzy as to how you determine the USP code of a weapon during High Guard ship design. In the chart on turret weapons it says the number in the body of the chart is the number of weapon types. How is this determined? For example, if a ship has a triple beam turret would it be three weapon types per turret? Thus the ship would have the third row of the chart's USP code?

For turret weapons, the number listed in the body of the chart is the total number of individual weapons in the battery.
So if you have 1 battery consisting of a single triple beam laser turret, that would be a USP code of 3.
If you have 2 batteries, each consisting of 2 triple beam laser turrets, you would have a total of 6 lasers per battery and each battery would have a USP code of 4. The ship would have 4 total laser turrets and 12 total lasers.
If you organized all 4 turrets as a single battery, you would have a (non-optimal) USP code of 5 (10+ lasers) for the single battery. You would have to add a 5th triple beam laser turret to that battery to get the USP code up to 6 (15 beam lasers).
Bay and Major (spinal mount) weapons are treated as a single weapon and are handled differently.
