As the only other reviewer (from 20 years ago!) stated, this was a soap opera set on a U. S. naval base. In lieu of describing it as having an all-STAR cast, I'll go with all-recognizable.
I've never seen Dynasty, Hotel, Falcon Crest, Flamingo Road, Knots Landing, etc.---I suppose I'm aware of those titles mostly from seeing commercials for them back in the 80's---so I have no idea how Emerald Point NAS compares, but I can say that my wife and I did not find the show all that interesting. Out of respect to everyone involved, and to the wonderful 80's decade, we did sit through every single episode.
But when it was finally over, we were kind of relieved. Again, it just wasn't that interesting. It felt contrived and shallow, with lots of silly melodrama. Overall, just poorly written and executed.
Shows like The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Knight Rider are MUCH more fun! So search for those instead.
