KABUL, Oct 21 (Reuters) - A U.S. navy patrol plane was destroyed on Tuesday when it overshot the runway while landing at a base north of the Afghan capital, but none of the crew was seriously hurt, the U.S. military said. "A Navy P-3 Orion airplane overshot the runway surface while landing at Bagram Air Field. The airplane sustained serious structural and fire damage," a military statement said. One crew member suffered a broken ankle. The incident was under investigation, it said. Bagram is the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, located just north of Kabul. The P-3 Orion is a patrol aircraft used primarily for maritime patrol, reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare. (Writing by Jonathon Burch; editing by Roger Crabb)
